2.4. Synthesis of (Quinolin-8-ylamino)-acetic acid (4a)
8-Aminoquinoline (0.72 g, 5 mmol) was dissolved in dry dichlo-
romethane (20 mL) and triethylamine (0.69 mL, 5 mmol) was
added to it. The solution was stirred at 0 °C for 15 min and then
bromoacetylbromide (0.43 mL, 5 mmol) was added drop wise to
the stirred solution. The reaction mixture was then stirred over-
night at room temperature. It is them filtered to remove the hydro-
bromide salts, and the filtrate was removed under reduced
pressure. The product obtained was further purified by recrystalli-
zation from dichloromethane. In the next step, the amide obtained
(1.4 g, 5 mmol), 8-aminoquinoline (0.72 g, 5 mmol) and K2CO3
(1.03 g, 7.5 mmol) were added to dry acetone (20 mL) in nitrogen
atmosphere and the reaction mixture was stirred at 60 °C for 9 h
(progress of the reaction was monitored at regular intervals using
3. Results and discussion
The
N-[2-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-ethyl]-2-(quinolin-8-yloxy)
acetamide forms 1:1 co-crystal (2) with 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene
which is isolated as colorless crystals and characterized by
spectroscopic techniques (Scheme 1). A relatively strong absorp-
tion in 3472 cmÀ1 in the IR spectra of co-crystal 2 is attributed to
the hydrogen bonded phenolic –OH groups of 1,5-dihydroxy
naphthalene.
