Diethylamine → ethyl 2-[2-(N,N-diethylamino)ethyl]-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-6,7-dimethoxyquinoline-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 2-(2-bromoethyl)-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-6,7-dimethoxyquinoline-3-carboxylate (0.45 g), diethylamine (0.326 g) and dichloromethane (10 ml) was stirred under reflux for 14 hours. The reaction mixture was washed with water and dried over magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel. The fractions eluted with chloroform-methanol (20:1, v/v) gave ethyl 2-[2-(N,N-diethylamino)ethyl]-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-6,7-dimethoxyquinoline-3-carboxylate (0.113 g, 26%). This compound was recrystallized from ethyl acetate - hexane. Colorless prisms, mp. 76°-78° C.
