3,4-dibenzyloxy-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2(5H)-furanone → 3,4-dihydroxy-5-[2-(quinoline-2-oxy)ethyl]-2(5H)-furanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

Mitsunoble coupling of 0.17 g (1.2 mmol) of 2-hydroxyquinoline with 0.34 g (1.0 mmol) of 3,4-dibenzyloxy-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2(5H)-furanone and subsequent benzyl group deprotection by hydrogenation were performed in a similar manner as described in the synthesis of 3,4-dihydroxy-5-[2-(4-phenoxy)phenoxyethyl]-2(5H)-furanone to provide 50 mg (17% yield) of 3,4-dihydroxy-5-[2-(quinoline-2-oxy)ethyl]-2(5H)-furanone as a fluffy white solid after recrystallization from ether and hexanes: 1H NMR (acetone-d6) δ 8.25-8.17 (m, 1H); 7.88-7.38 (m, 4H), 7.01-6.93 (m, 1H); 4.97 (dd, J=4.9, 8.7 H, 1H), 4.81-4.55 (m, 2H); 2.62-2.45 (m, 1H), 2.20-1.95 (m, 1H). Anal Calcd for C15H13NO5 +0.5H2O: C, 60.81; H, 5.10; N, 4.72. Found: C, 61.04; H 5.04: N, 4.32.
