Triethylamine → Tert-butyl 2-{2-[(3-nitroquinolin-4-yl)amino]ethoxy}ethylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of 4-chloro-3-nitroquinoline (31.4 g, 0.151 mol) in 500 mL of anhydrous CH2Cl2, under N2, was treated with triethylamine (43 mL, 0.308 mol) and tert-butyl 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethylcarbamate (0.151 mol). After stirring overnight, the reaction mixture was washed with H2O (2×300 mL) and brine (300 mL). The organic portion was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to give a bright yellow solid. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate/hexanes gave 43.6 g of tert-butyl 2-{2-[(3-nitroquinolin-4-yl)amino]ethoxy}ethylcarbamate as bright yellow crystals.
