The reaction was stirred at 70° C. for 36 h. Water (15 mL) was added and the suspension was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×10 mL). The organic phases were combined, dried over sodium sulfate, and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on a 4 g Analogix column using 0-10% methanol in dichloromethane. The solid was then dried in a vacuum oven at 50° C. for 18 h to give 181 mg (32% yield) of ethyl 6-iodo-4-oxo-1-((1-((tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methyl)pyrrolidin-3-yl)methyl)-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylate as an off white solid.
