A 4 mL vial was charged with 7-fluoro-1H-quinolin-2-one (0.032 g, 0.19 mmol), NaH (60% in oil, 8.7 mg, 0.21 mmol) and dry DMF (2.5 mL). The mixture was shaken at rt for 1 h and then 1-bromo-3-chloropropane (20 IlI, 0.19 mmol) was added and the reaction was shaken overnight shaken at rt overnight. The mixture was then diluted with ether (25 mL) and washed water (15 mL), the ether phase was washed with water (15 mL) and brine (15 mL). The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The oily residue was diluted with CH3CN (2 mL) and to the resulting solution was added: KI (0.050 g, 0.30 mmol), K2CO3 (0.041 g, 0.30 mmol) and 4-butylpiperidine (0.028 g, 0.20 mmol). The mixture was shaken at 50° C. for 72 h and then poured onto The compound EtOAc (25 mL) and water (15 mL). The water phase was extracted (2×25 mL) and the combined organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash CC (SiO2; EtOAc/MeOH 4:1) followed by prep RP-HPLC to give the title compound (7.0 mg, 11%). 1H NMR (CD3OD) δ 7.89 (d, J=9.6 Hz, 1H), 7.73 (dd, J=6.2, 8.6 Hz, 1H), 7.47 (dd, J=2.4, 11.6 Hz, 1H), 7.08 (dt, J=2.4, 8.6 Hz, 1H), 6.60 (d J=9.6 Hz, 1H), 4.33 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 2 H), 2.98-2.00 (m, 2H), 2.50-2.42 (m, 2H), 2.05-1.86 (m, 4H), 1.55-1.64 (m, 2H), 1.36-1.15 (m, 9H), 0.90 (t, J=6.8 Hz); 13C NMR (CD3OD) δ 164.7 (d, J=248), 163.2, 140.9 (br) 139.9, 131.4 (d, J=10 Hz), 119.3 (d, J=3 Hz), 118.1 (br), 110.6 (d, J=23 Hz), 101.6 (d, J=28 Hz), 55.5, 53.9, 41.0, 36.8, 35.6, 31.9, 28.9, 24.5, 22.7, 13.2; HPLC-MS (ammonium acetate) [M+H]+=345.3
