Lithium Bromide → HCID 59526939, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(benzyloxy)-2-(chloromethyl)-3-methylquinoline (5.0 g) in THF (50 mL) was added anhydrous lithium bromide (15 g), followed by heating under reflux for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and then the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. Water was added to the residue, followed by stirring, and the resulting solid was collected by filtration. This solid was dried under vacuum at 60° C. to obtain 5.73 g of 4-(benzyloxy)-2-(bromomethyl)-3-methylquinoline as a white solid.
