6-Fluoro-2-methylquinoline, 98+%

Description

Metal-free transfer hydrogenation of 6-fluoro-2-methylquinoline by employing several chiral Bronsted acid catalysts was carried out in combination with dihydropyridines as the hydride source in asymmetric metal-free synthesis of fluoroquinolones by organocatalytic hydrogenation. Hydrogenation product of 6-fluoro-2-methylquinoline is the key intermediate of the antibacterial agent.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
