Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Selenium dioxide (1.6 g, 14 mmol, 1.3 eq) was suspended in dioxan (50 mL) and was heated to 60° C. At this temperature 7-bromoquinaldine (2.5 g, 11.2 mmol) was introduced and the mixture was left at 80° C. for 3 hours. After cooling the mixture to room temperature, the crude slurry was filtered on celite, eluted with dioxan and concentrated under reduced pressure. The product was obtained pure as a brown solid (3.3 g, >98%) that was used without furter purification.
