Reaction Steps

To 1-(2,4-dimethoxy-benzyl)-pyrrolidine-2,5-dione 299 (1.4 g, 5.6 mmol) and pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester (1.13 g, 5.8 mmol) dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (60 ml) and methanol (7.0 ml) was added a 60% dispersion of sodium hydride in mineral oil (NaH, 492 mg, 12.3 mmol). The reaction mixture was warmed to 80° C. and kept at 80° C. with stirring overnight. The reaction mixture was placed in an ice bath and titrated to a pH of 4 with 1 M HCl. 200 ml of ether was added and the resulting yellow solid was collected by filtration. The solid was washed twice with ether, twice with water, and dried under high vacuum with heating to provide 7-(2,4-dimethoxy-benzyl)-5,9-dihydroxy-pyrrolo[3,4-g]quinoline-6,8-dione 300 (1.1 g, 52%). 1H NMR (d-DMSO) δ 10.8 (broad, 2H), 9.0 (d, 1H), 8.67 (d, 1H), 7.72 (m, 1H), 6.90 (d, 1H), 6.5 (d, 1H), 6.38 (dd, 1H), 4.58 (s, 2H), 3.76 (s, 3H), 3.66 (s, 3H). MS: 382.1 (M+1)
