Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(2-methoxyethoxy)-methoxy-3-(2-quinolin-2-yl-vinyl)-benzene (120 mg, 0.35 mmol, example 16) is added p-toluene sulphonic acid monohydrate. (74 mg, 0.39 mmol). The resulting solution is heated to 60° C. and stirred at this temperature for 4 h. The reaction mixture is then cooled, concentrated and the residue taken up in dichloromethane. This solution is washed with sat. NaHCO3 solution, dried over MgSO4 then concentrated to give the title compound as a solid. MS (ESI) 248 (M+H)+.
