Reaction Steps

Quinoline-8-carbonyl chloride was freshly prepared by heating 135 mg (0.78 mmol) of quinoline-8-carboxylic acid in an excess of thionyl chloride (622 μL) for three hours at 60-70° C. This mixture was added dropwise to a solution of 100 mg of the aniline precursor from step b (0.39 mmol) and 5 equivalents of triethylamine (1.95 mmol) in 7 mL of dry MeCN. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for three days, concentrated in a vacuum and purified by flash chromatography (toluene/EtOAc/acetone 6/3/1 Rf 0.5). The product was obtained as an off-white solid with 87% yield (140 mg).
