Ammonia → (7-Fluoroquinolin-6-yl)methanamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 7-fluoroquinoline-6-carbonitrile (1.00 g, 5.813 mmol), methanol saturated with ammonia (13.5 ml) and Raney-Ni (1.27 g) were added and hydrogenated at 50-60 psi for 4 h. The reaction mixture was filtered and concentrated to afford the title compound as a brown oil (0.80 g, 78%). 1H-NMR (δ ppm, DMSO-d6, 400 MHz): 8.85 (d, J=2.3 Hz, 1H), 8.35 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 8.06 (d, J=9.5 Hz, 1H), 7.68 (d, J=11.8 Hz, 1H), 7.49 (t, J=3.8 Hz, 1H), 3.92 (s, 2H), 1.90 (br s, 2H).
