Abstract:
The title compound, C(15)H(13)Br(4)NO(4), was obtained via radical bromination reaction of ethyl 6,7-dimeth-oxy-2-methyl-quinoline-3-carboxyl-ate and N-bromo-succinimide (NBS) in the presence of benzoyl peroxide (BPO) under photocatalytic conditions. The quinoline ring system is approximately planar with a maximum deviation from the mean plane of 0.035 (1) Å. The dihedral angle between the six-membered rings is 2.33 (2)°. The meth-oxy O atoms of the two neighboring meth-oxy groups are in-plane while their methyl C atoms are located on either side of the quinolyl ring plane at distances of -1.207 (1) and 1.223 (1) Å.

Structure and Nomenclature of Epoxides
Preparation of Epoxides
Epoxides result from alkene oxidation, which can be achieved by a) air, b) peroxy acids, c) hypochlorous acids, and d) halohydrin cyclization.
Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of peroxy acids to...
Structure and Nomenclature of Ethers
Ethers are organic compounds with an ether functional group which is characterized by an oxygen atom connected to two — identical or different — alkyl, aryl, or vinyl groups. The C–O–C linkage in dimethyl ether — the simplest ether — has an approximately tetrahedral bond angle of 110.3 degrees. The oxygen atom is sp3- hybridized, with the C–O distance being about 140 pm.
Classification of Ethers
Based on their attached substituent groups, ethers can be classified into two...
