Furfural → HCID 54232925, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-methyl-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid (2.19 g) in acetic anhydride (10 ml) is treated with 2-furaldehyde (1.0 ml) and sodium acetate (0.82 g). The solution is treated at reflux temperature for 24 hours. The residue from the solvent evaporation is dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with brine solution, dried and evaporated to a semi-crystalline residue (30 g). Filtration through silica gel (150 g) with 9:1 Skelly B:ethyl acetate gives 8-(2-furanylmethylene)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-methyl-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester (1.40 g), m.p. 119° C.-120° C. after hexane crystallization.
