“…( 3-(Bis(methylthio)methyl)-4-methylquinolin-2(1H)-one (18). Following general procedure B, with compound 27 (35 mg, 0.12 mmol) as starting material, compound 18 was obtained as a pale yellow solid (24 mg, 74%): 1 3-(Bis(ethylthio)methyl)-4-methylquinolin-2(1H)-one (19). Following general procedure B, with compound 29 (18 mg, 0.06 mmol) as starting material, compound 19 was obtained as a pale yellow solid (12 mg, 73%): 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ 1.34 (t, J = 7.4 Hz, 6H), 2.74 (q, J = 7.4 Hz, 4H), 2.81 (s, 3H), 6.16 (s, 1H), 7.24 (t, J = 7.4, 1H), 7.37 (d, J = 8.2 Hz, 1H), 7.49 (d, J = 7.8 Hz, 1H), 7.76 (d, J = 8.5 1H), 12.28 (s, 1H); 13 (E)-2-(2-Methoxyvinyl)quinolin-4(1H)-one (4) and 3-(Dimethoxymethyl)-4-methylquinolin-2(1H)-one (16).…”
