4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde → 4-(2-quinolinylmethoxy)Benzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.65 g (5.4 mmol) 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 0.94 g (5.3 mmol) of 2-quinolinylmethylchloride, and 0.75 g (5.4 mmol) of potassium carbonate in 15 ml of DMF is heated at 60° C. overnight. The reaction mixture is poured into water. The precipitate is collected on a filter and purified by dry column chromatography to give 4(2-quinolinylmethyloxy)benzaldehyde.
