Trifluoroacetic acid → HCID 59397971, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into 3 mL of a 90% aqueous trifluoroacetic acid solution, 243 mg of 1-(1,3-dioxolan-2-ylmethyl)-6-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline was dissolved, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, the resultant solution was alkalified with an aqueous saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed sequentially with water and an aqueous saturated sodium chloride solution, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to obtain 236 mg of a pale yellow oily substance, (6-methyl-2-oxoquinolin-1(2H)-yl)acetaldehyde.
