Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Toluene (20 ml) and thionyl chloride (1 ml) were added to commercially available 4-octylbenzoic acid (40 mg), and the mixture was heated at 100° C. for one hr. The solvent was removed by distillation, and 4-octyl-1-benzenecarbonyl isothiocyanate was prepared using the resultant 4-octyl-1-benzenecarbonyl chloride as a starting compound according to the description of the literature. 3-Chloro-4-[(6,7-dimethoxy-4-quinolyl)oxy]aniline (50 mg) was dissolved in toluene (5 ml) and ethanol (1 ml) to prepare a solution. A solution of 4-octyl-1-benzenecarbonyl isothiocyanate in ethanol (1 ml) was then added to the solution, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr. The reaction solution was concentrated, and the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel using chloroform/acetone for development to give the title compound (53 mg, yield 58%).
