Synthesis

edit

Quinfamide is one of a relatively small family of antiamoebic compounds containing a dichloroacetamide function.[citation needed]

 
Quinfamide synthesis:[2][3]

The synthesis begins by amidation of 6-hydroxytetrahydroquinoline with dichloroacetyl chloride. The sequence is completed by acylation with 2-furoyl chloride.
