Hydrochloric Acid → 2,2-difluoro-2',3'-dihydro-1'H-spiro[cyclopropane-1,4'-quinoline]

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.105 g of tert-butyl 2,2-difluoro-2′,3′-dihydro-1′H-spiro[cyclopropane-1,4′-quinoline]-1′-carbamate is dissolved in 5 ml of dichloromethane and then 7.78 ml of a 4N solution of hydrochloric acid in dioxane are added. Stirring is maintained for 14 hours. After evaporating, the residue is taken up in dichloromethane and then hydrolyzed with a saturated solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate in water. The mixture is extracted twice with dichloromethane. The organic phases are combined, washed with water and then with a saturated solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate in water and then dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure. 0.588 g of 2,2-difluoro-2′,3′-dihydro-1′H-spiro[cyclopropane-1,4′-quinoline] is obtained.
