Hexane → tert-Butyl 2-(3-nitroquinolin-4-ylamino)ethylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (66.8 g, 0.66 mmol) was added to a solution of tert-butyl (N-2-aminoethyl)carbamate (55.0 g, 0.34 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (500 mL). 4-Chloro-3-nitroquinoline (68.2 g, 0.33 mmol) was slowly added. The reaction mixture exothermed. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir overnight. The resulting precipitate was isolated by filtration and rinsed with water to provide a yellow solid. The filtrate was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and then concentrated to provide a yellow solid. The two batches of solid were combined, slurried with hexane, filtered and then dried to provide 101 g of 1,1-dimethylethyl N-{2-[(3-nitroquinolin-4-yl)amino]ethyl}carbamate as a yellow solid.
