Syntheses of 1-Phenyl-2-(2-quinolyl)ethanones and Related Ethanones
Seven 1-phenyl-2-ethanones were synthesized by the condensation of 2-methyl-6-substituted quinolines and methyl benzoate with sodium hydride as the condensing agent.Substituents in the 6 position were bromo, chloro, fluoro, methoxy, methyl, and trifluoromethyl as well as the parent compound.Picrate derivates were prepared from each ketone.
