Pentyl chloroformate → Pentyl [(3-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinolin-2-yl)methyl]carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(aminomethyl)-3-methylquinolin-4(1H)-one dihydrochloride (160 mg) in pyridine (8 mL) was added pentyl chloroformate (100 mg), followed by stirring at room temperature for 6 hours. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (eluent: chloroform/methanol) to obtain pentyl [(3-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinolin-2-yl)methyl]carbamate (104 mg).
