Hydrogen Bromide → 4-(2-Fluoro-4-nitrophenoxy)-7-hydroxy-6-methoxyquinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a flask containing 7-benzyloxy-4-(2-fluoro-4-nitro-phenoxy)-6-methoxy-quinoline (850 mg, 2.0 mmol) was added 20 mL of 30% HBr in AcOH. The resulted solution was stirred for 4 h at rt; at this time, a large amount of precipitate formed. The crude product was filtered, washed with Et2O and dried in air, giving 4-(2-fluoro-4-nitro-phenoxy)-6-methoxy-7-hydroxyquinoline (609 mg, 92% yield).
