2,8-Dimethylquinoline → HCID 86707438, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,8-dimethylquinoline (3.00 g, 19.1 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (50 mL) were added benzoyl peroxide (0.0139 g, 0.057 mmol) and N-bromosuccinimide (3.57 g, 20.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 18 hours. The solid was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in DCM (100 mL), washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate and brine, dried (sodium sulfate), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 8-(bromomethyl)-2-methylquinoline (1.50 g, 33.3%) as a solid.
