Reaction Steps

To an ice-cold solution of 4-(benzyloxy)-2,3,6-trimethylquinoline (1.36 g) in chloroform (25 mL) was added m-chloroperbenzoic acid (75%, 1.35 g), and the mixture was stirred for 4.5 hours. A 1M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (10 mL) and water (10 mL) were added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction with chloroform (20 mL). The organic layer was washed sequentially with water and saturated brine, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: chloroform/methanol=95/5) to obtain 4-(benzyloxy)-2,3,6-trimethylquinoline-1-oxide (1.20 g).
