Abstract:
Novel syntheses using 4-methoxy-2-methylquinoline were attempted by using a strong base to remove the most acidic proton, one of the protons of the methyl in the 2-position, to generate a carbanion. Upon the introduction of a halide with an electrophile, the electrophile will attack the carbanion where the proton was removed in an SN2 reaction to make a new compound. The methods for how this type of reaction was tried were attempted temperatures and bases are described. The DEPT-90 and 135 of 4-methoxy-2-methylquinoline were run, analyzed and the spectra are given. The DEPT spectra for this compound constitute a new contribution to the reference information for 4-methoxy-2-methylquinoline.
