Triethylamine → HCID 18076197, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (4.2 g, 31 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of 3-cyanobenzoyl chloride (5.2 g, 31 mmol) and triethylamine (3.1 g, 31 mmol) in dichloromethane (125 ml) while cooling in an ice/water bath. The mixture was allowed to warm to RT and stirred for 18 h. It was washed with 0.3M potassium hydrogen sulphate solution, saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and brine. The organic phase was filtered through phase separation paper and reduced to yield 1-(3-cyanobenzoyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (7.1 g, 86%).
