Hydrochloric Acid → S-(8-hydroxyquinolin-5-ylmethyl)-L-cysteine

Participants

Reaction Steps

L-cysteine hydrochloride hydrate (37 mg, 0.31 mmol) was dissolved in DMSO (3 ml). To the solution powdered KOH (36 mg, 0.34 mmol) was added, and the mixture was stirred for 30 min at room temperature. Then, powdered 5-chloromethyl-8-hydroxyquinoline hydrochloride (A2) (65 mg, 0.34 mmol) was added. The suspension was stirred at room temperature 12 h, 2 N HCl was added and the pH was adjusted to 5. The precipitate was washed with water and acetone. The crude product was further purified by semi-preparative HPLC to yield compound M12: 53 mg (61%). HPLC (tR): 38.1 min (linear gradient: 50% B for the first 4 min, increased linearly to 100% B for 60 min) [α]D20=+20.5° (c=1.0, H2O); 1H NMR (250 MHz, D2O) 2.89 (d, J=5.6 Hz, 2H), 3.95 (dd, J=5.1, 5.0 Hz,1H), 4.18 (s, 2H), 7.25 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.57 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.96 (dd, J=8.7, 5.5 Hz, 1H), 8.88 (d, J=5.4 Hz, 1H), 9.22 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H); IR (KBr) cm−1: 3438 (broad), 3081, 1685, 1637, 1560; Mass spectrometry: calculated for C12H12N2O3 m/z [M+H]+=279.33, found [M+H]+=279.13.
