Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 8-bromo-2-methylquinoline (2.00 g, 9.01 mmol), Pd(PtBu3)2 (0.23 g, 0.45 mmol), Cs2CO3 (11.74 g, 36.02 mmol) and diethyl malonate (2.73 mL, 18.01 mmol) in dioxane (25 mL) was heated at 118° C. in a sealed tube for 1 hour. After cooling to ambient temperature, ethyl acetate (30 mL) and water (15 mL) were added. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried (sodium sulfate), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (7:1 hexane/ethyl acetate) to give diethyl 2-(2-methylquinolin-8-yl)malonate (2.24 g, 82.54%) as an oil.
