A case of competitive demethylation by boron tribromide-methyl sulfide complex. A new route to oxazoloquinolines

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919808003062

Reaction of boron tribromide-methyl sulfide complex with 6-methoxy-5- amidoquinolines provides oxazolo(4,5-f) quinolines. In contrast under similar conditions boron tribromide gives only 6-hydroxy-5-amidoquinolines.
