Triphenylphosphine → 4-Chloro-6-methoxy-7-(2-([1,2,4]-triazol-1-yl)ethoxy)quinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

Diethyl azodicarboxylate (1 ml, 6.5 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of 4-chloro-7-hydroxy-6-methoxyquinoline (845 mg, 4.0 mmol), (prepared as described for the starting material in Example 3), 2-([1,2,4]-triazol-1-yl)ethanol (500 mg, 4.4 mmol), (Ann. Pharm. Fr. 1977, 35, 503-508), and triphenylphosphine (1.7 g, 6.5 mmol) in methylene chloride (40 ml) under argon. After stirring for 4 days at ambient temperature, the insoluble materials were removed by filtration. The volatiles were removed by evaporation and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica eluting with methylene chloride/acetonitrile/methanol (75/20/5). The product was purified by a second chromatography on neutral alumina eluting with methylene chloride/acetonitrile/methanol (75/20/5). The purified product was triturated with ether, collected by filtration and dried under vacuum to give 4-chloro-6-methoxy-7-(2-([1,2,4]-triazol-1-yl)ethoxy)quinoline (544 mg, 45%).
