Thionyl Chloride → HCID 22320532, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A round bottom flask was charged with a magnetic stir bar, 3-[(3-nitroquinolin-4-yl)amino]propan-1-ol (20.75 g, 83.93 mmol), thionyl chloride (15.0 g, 125.89 mmol), and dichloromethane (420 mL). The bright yellow, homogeneous solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours at which time the starting material was completely consumed. The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure and the resulting solid stirred in water (400 mL) made basic (pH 10) with solid sodium carbonate. A bright yellow solid was collected by filtration to afford N-(3-chloropropyl)-3-nitroquinolin-4-amine (21.63 g, 81.41 mmol) which was used without further purification.
