Triethylamine → 6-Chloro-3-methylaminomethylene-4-oxo-1-propionyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-chloro-4-oxo-1-propionyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (2 g), N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (7.009 g), and triethylamine (0.87 g) in benzene (50 m) was refluxed with stirring for 1 hour and then about three-fourths of the solvent was distilled slowly at atmospheric pressure over a period ximately 1 hour. To the residue was added benzene (100 ml) and the solvent was distilled again. The resulting solid was collected by filtration, washed with diethyl ether, and dried to give 6-chloro-3-methylaminomethylene-4-oxo-1-propionyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (2.02 g).
