1,4-Dioxane → 3-Fluoro-7-(2-methoxyethoxy)quinoline-2-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-fluoro-7-(2-methoxyethoxy)-2-methylquinoline (0.234 g, 0.995 mmol) and SeO2 (0.132 g, 1.19 mmol) in dioxane (10 mL) and water (0.1 mL) was stirred at 102° C. (bath) for 5 hours. The solid was removed by filtration. The filtrated was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained was purified by flash chromatography (1:1 hexane/ethyl acetate) to give 3-fluoro-7-(2-methoxyethoxy)quinoline-2-carbaldehyde (0.24 g, 0.963 mmol, 97% yield) as a solid.
