Participants

Reaction Steps

By the general method described in Step 6 of Example 1, 6-(3-nitroquinolin-4-ylamino)-1-phenylhexan-1-ol (4.0 g, 11 mmol) was oxidized with DMSO (1.28 g, 16.4 mmol), oxalyl chloride (1.53 g, 12.0 mmol), and triethylamine (3.32 g, 32.8 mmol) to provide 6-(3-nitroquinolin-4-ylamino)-1-phenylhexan-1-one (2.27 g) as light orange crystals after recrystallization from ethyl acetate.
