Triethylamine → 1-{[(3-Nitroquinolin-4-yl)amino]methyl}cyclopropanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 0° C. mixture of 1-(aminomethyl)cyclopropanol (approximately 36.7 mmol, prepared as described by Lysenko, I. L. and Kulinkovich, O. G. Russ. i J. Org Chem. 2001, 17, 1238-1243) and triethylamine (6.30 mL, 45.4 mmol) in dichloromethane (120 mL) was added a solution of 4-chloro-3-nitroquinoline (7.28 g, 34.9 mmol) in dichloromethane (30 mL). The suspension was stirred at room temperature over the weekend. The dichloromethane was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was suspended in water (150 mL) and stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. A solid was isolated by filtration and dried in a vacuum oven to afford 8.99 g of 1-{[(3-nitroquinolin-4-yl)amino]methyl}cyclopropanol as a yellow solid.
