Sodium Carbonate → 4-(3-Hydroxy-4-methyl-phenylamino)-6-methoxy-quinoline-3-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 218.6 mg (1.0 mmol) of 4-chloro-6-methoxy-3-quinolinecarbonitrile and 147.8 mg (1.20 mmol) of 5-amino-o-cresol in 10 mL of 2-ethoxyethanol was added 115.6 mg (1.0 mmol) of pyridine hydrochloride. The resulting reaction mixture was refluxed for 1 hr, and then the solvent was removed to give a residue. To the residue was added about 30 mL of water and neutralized to pH 7-8 by addition of diluted sodium carbonate solution. The precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with water and ether. After drying in vacuo, this afforded 278.3 mg (91%) of the product as a yellow solid, m.p.>250° C. (dec.), mass (electrospray, m/e): M+H 305.9.
