Triethylamine → 2-(3-Chloro-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxoethyl 2-(4-(quinolin-2-ylmethoxy)phenyl)acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(4-(quinolin-2-ylmethoxy)phenyl)acetic acid (1.0 g, 5.42 mmol) in acetonitrile (20 mL) were added Et3N (5.54 mL, 43.4 mmol) and 2-bromo-1-(3-chloro-4-methoxyphenyl)ethanone (1.07 g, 3.65 mmol) under an inert atmosphere. The reaction mixture was then stirred at RT for 1 h and concentrated in vacuo to obtain the crude product. The crude material was extracted with EtOAc (2×50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo to afford 2-(3-chloro-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxoethyl 2-(4-(quinolin-2-ylmethoxy)phenyl)acetate (750 mg, 29%) as a solid.
