Selenium Dioxide → HCID 86707455, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 8-(1-methoxypropan-2-yloxy)-2-methylquinoline (1.0 g, 4.32 mmol) in dioxane/water (10/1 mL) was added selenium dioxide (0.576 g, 5.19 mmol) and the reaction was heated to reflux for 2 hours. The reaction was concentrated to dryness and the residue purified by reverse phase chromatography (SP4, 25M, eluting with a gradient of water/ACN 100:0 to 0:100, 20 column volumes) to yield 8-(1-methoxypropan-2-yloxy)quinoline-2-carbaldehyde (874 mg, 82.4% yield) as a solid
