Sodium methanesulfinate → 6-(Methylsulfonylmethyl)-8-bromoquinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-bromomethyl-8-bromoquinoline (1.0 eq) (described in International Patent Publication WO 94/22852) in of DMF (0.5M) was added sodium methanesulfinate (1.3 eq). After stirring overnight at room temperature, the resulting mixture was quenched with H2O (4× volume of DMF), stirred for one hour. The resulting precipitate was isolated by filtration and washed with Et2O to afford the 8-bromo-6-methanesulfonylmethyl-quinoline compound.
