The invention discloses a preparation method of 2-methyl-4-
aminoquinoline, and belongs to the technical field of
organic synthesis. The preparation method comprises the following steps: by taking 2-methylquinoline as a
raw material, carrying out
nitrogen oxidation reaction under the action of 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA) without purification; then carrying out
nitration reaction in iron
nitrate nonahydrate and isopropanol; then, under the tetrahydroxy diboron / alkaline condition, 2-methyl-4-
aminoquinoline is generated through reduction. Easily available 2-methylquinoline is adopted as a
raw material,
nitrogen oxidation is performed, a
ferric nitrate nitration system is adopted, and finally amino is introduced through reduction, so that harsh conditions in a traditional method are avoided, the
route is simple and efficient, product separation and purification are simple, and the method is suitable for being carried out under industrial amplification conditions.
