Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 2-[4-(7-chloroquinolin-3-yloxy)phenoxy]propionate (500 mg), concentrated sulphuric acid (2 drops) and n-propanol (50 ml) was heated under reflux with stirring for 72 hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was partitioned between dichloromethane and water. The organic layer was separated, dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated to give n-propyl 2-[4-(7-chloroquinolin-3-yloxy)phenoxy]propionate as a pale brown oil which was characterised by its proton magnetic resonance spectrum (Table 3).
