5-Chlorovaleryl chloride → HCID 66620499, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-chloroquinolin-3-amine (4.00 g, 22.39 mmol) and 5-chlorovaleryl chloride (1.30 mL, 33.6 mmol) dissolved in 150 mL of 1,2-dichloroethane was heated to reflux. After 2.8 days more 5-chlorovaleryl chloride (1.0 mL, 7.7 mmol) was added. After 16 hours more the reaction was cooled to room temperature, diluted with dichloromethane, washed with saturated aqueous K2CO3, H2O, and brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 3.78 g of 5-chloro-N-(4-chloroquinolin-3-yl)pentanamide as a tan solid.
