5-(tert-Butyldimethylsilyloxy)-1-(2-chloro-5,8-dimethoxyquinolin-3-yl)-3-methylenepentan-1-ol

Novel 5-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-1-(2-chloro-5,8-dimethoxyquinolin-3-yl)-3-methylenepentan-1-ol (7) was prepared via allylation of 2-chloro-5,8-dimethoxyquinoline-3-carbaldehyde (6) with functionalized allylic iodide as tert-butyl-(3-(iodomethyl)but-3-enyloxy)dimethylsilane (5), in the presence of metallic indium in anhydrous DMF as solvent at ambient temperature. The structure of the synthesized compound was assigned on the basis of elemental analysis and spectral data.
