Sodium Bicarbonate → Acetic acid 2-(6-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)-2-oxo-1-quinolin-6-yl-ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of of 2-bromo-1-(6-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)-2-quinolin-6-yl-ethanone hydrobromide (94 mg, 0.36 mmol), and potassium acetate (70 mg, 0.72 mmol, 2 equiv) in dimethylformamide (2 mL) is heated to 60° C. for 1 hour. The resulting reaction mixture is cooled to ambient temperature, treated with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organics are washed with brine, dried with magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to provide acetic acid 2-(6-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)-2-oxo-1-quinolin-6-yl-ethyl ester.
