Triethylsilane → HCID 19593045, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,4-dihydro-3-hydroxymethyl-8-nitro-4-oxoquinoline (3.1 g) in trifluoroacetic acid (10 ml) and dichloromethane (10 ml) was added triethylsilane (6.55 g), and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature overnight. The mixture was partitioned between dichloromethane and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel to give 1,4-dihydro-3-methyl-8-nitro-4-oxoquinoline (2.3 g).
