The resulting mixture was heated to reflux over 0.75 hour, cooled to 0° C., and poured into a cold saturated ammonium chloride solution. The aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane and the combined organic layers were washed with 10% hydrochloric acid solution and saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to afford 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6-methoxy-3-(methoxycarbonyl)-2-oxo-4-quinoline acetic acid, methyl ester.
