Ammonium Chloride → HCID 22622206, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 8-chloro-5-nitroquinoline (5.0 g, 24 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (70 mL) at −78° C. under Ar was added a solution of vinylmagnesium bromide (1.0 M in tetrahydrofuran, 72 mL, 72 mmol) over 5 min. The mixture was stirred for 40 minutes, poured into aqueous ammonium chloride solution (200 mL) and extracted with ether (3×100 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed (water, brine), dried (sodium sulfate), concentrated in vacuo and purified by column chromatography [SiO2; ethyl acetate-heptane (1:1)] to give 5-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-f]quinoline as an orange solid (1.0 g, 21%): mp 248-250° C.; IR νmax (Nujol)/cm−1 3198, 2924, 2854, 1500, 1465, 1377, 1364, 1290, 1162, 1126, 1085, 949, 887, 810, 780, 744, 706, 633, 599 and 512; NMR δH (400 Mz, CDCl3) 6.64 (1H, d, J 3 Hz) 7.56 (1H, t, J 4 Hz) 7.65 (1H, dd, J2.5, 8.5 Hz) 8.14 (1H, s) 8.83 (1H, d, J 8.5 Hz) 8.88 (1H, d, J 2.5 Hz) 12.37 (1H, m).
