Dichloromethane → HCID 22493592, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 100 ml of dichloromethane were dissolved 4.2 g of methyl 8-isopropylquinolone-2-carboxylate, 3 ml of 2,6-lutidine and 209 mg of 4-dimethylaminopyridine under a nitrogen gas stream. Trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (3.2 ml) was added dropwise to the resulting solution at 0° C., followed by stirring at room temperature for 24 hours. A saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride was added to the reaction mixture and the resulting mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was successively washed with water and saturated saline, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue so obtained was subjected to chromatography on a silica gel column (developing solvent: 5% ethyl acetate/n-hexane), whereby 6.3 g of the title compound were obtained in the form of a colorless solid.
