2-Methylbenzyl alcohol → HCID 21890055, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-[(6,7-Dimethoxy-4-quinolyl)oxy]-2,3-dimethylaniline (100 mg) was added to toluene (10 ml) and triethylamine (1 ml), and the mixture was heated under reflux to prepare a solution. A solution of triphosgene (140 mg) in methylene chloride was then added thereto, and the mixture was heated under reflux for 10 min. Next, (2-methylphenyl)methanol (57 mg) was added thereto, and the mixture was further stirred with heating under reflux for 3 hr. A saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution was added to stop the reaction, and the reaction solution was then extracted with chloroform, followed by washing with a 1 N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution, water, and saturated brine in that order. The extract was dried over sodium sulfate and was then concentrated. The residue was purified on a column using chloroform/methanol to give the title compound (140 mg, yield 89%).
