Abstract
A facile two-step synthesis of 3-fluoro-6-methoxyquinoline is described. p-Anisidine was heated at reflux with 2-fluoromalonic acid in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride to produce 2,4-dichloro-3-fluoro-6-methoxyquinoline. This was followed by hydrogenolysis to produce 3-fluoro-6-methoxyquinoline.
