Reaction Steps

A solution of 72% 3-chloroperbenzoic acid (97.8 g (0.408 mol) dissolved in 1 L DCM, dried on sodium sulphate and filtered off) was added dropwise to a solution of 85.0 g 0.41 mol) 3-bromoquinoline in 100 mL DCM cooled to 5° C. Care was taken to ensure that the temperature of the reaction mixture did not rise above 10° C. After the addition had ended the mixture was stirred for 5 h, then a solution of 72% 3-chloroperbenzoic acid (25.0 g, 0.104 mol) dissolved in 200 mL DCM, dried on sodium sulphate and filtered off) was again added dropwise and the mixture was stirred overnight at RT. Saturated aqueous sodium carbonate solution was added, the phases were separated and the organic phase was dried on sodium sulphate. The solution was filtered through activated charcoal and then evaporated down i. vac.
