Diisopropylamine → 3-Cyano-6,7-dimethoxy-4-[6chloro-4-(3-methoxyprop-1-ynyl)-2,3-methylene dioxyanilino]quinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(6-chloro-4-iodo-2,3-methylenedioxyanilino)-3-cyano-6,7-dimethoxyquinoline (0.25 g), methyl 2-propynyl ether (0.09 ml), N,N-diisopropylamine (0.154 ml), bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) dichloride (0.069 g), cuprous iodide (0.028 g) and ethyl acetate (10 ml) was stirred and heated to reflux for 12 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica using increasingly polar mixtures of hexane and ethyl acetate as eluent. There was thus obtained the title compound as an oil (0.138 g); NMR Spectrum: (DMSOd6) 3.42 (s, 3H), 3.97 (s, 3H), 3.99 (s, 3H), 4.38 (s, 2H), 6.17 (s, 2H), 7.13 (s, 1H), 7.36 (s, 1H), 7.92 (s, 1H), 8.39 (s, 1H), 9.42 (br s, 1H); Mass Spectrum: M+H+ 452.
