Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.070 g of 4-chloro-7-hydroxy-6-methoxy-quinoline-3-carbonitrile, 0.062 g of 3-(4-pyridyl)-1-propanol and 0.235 g of triphenylphosphine in 3 ml of methylene chloride under nitrogen was cooled to 0° C. To this was added 0.14 ml of diethyl azodicarboxylate dropwise. After 30 minutes, the reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and further stirred for 2 hours. The mixture was concentrated down to 1 ml and purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with a solvent gradient of 1 to 2 percent methanol/methylene chloride, to provide 0.090 g of 4-chloro-6-methoxy-7-(3-pyridin-4-yl-propoxy)-quinoline-3-carbonitrile as an off-white gum.
