Triethylamine → Tert-butyl methyl(2-(2-[(3-nitroquinolin-4-yl)amino]ethoxy}ethyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of 4-chloro-3-nitroquinoline (32.3 g, 155 mmol) in 400 mL of anhydrous CH2Cl2, under N2, was treated with triethylamine (43.1 mL, 310 mmol) and tert-butyl 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethyl(methyl)carbamate (37.2 g, 171 mmol). After stirring overnight, the reaction mixture was washed with H2O (2×300 mL) and brine (300 mL). The organic portion was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to give a brown oil. Column chromatography (SiO2, 33% ethyl acetate/hexanes-67% ethyl acetate/hexanes) gave 46.7 g of tert-butyl methyl(2-{2-[(3-nitroquinolin-4-yl)amino]ethoxy}ethyl)carbamate as a yellow solid.
