反応手順

Compound 13 was alkylated with MeI according to a general amino group alkylation procedure as follows. The 3-methoxybenzoquinoline derivative (100 mg) 13 was suspended in 5 mL of dry THF and cooled to −5° C. (ice/NaCl). 1.1 equivalents of n-butyl lithium (1 M) was added dropwise, and the reaction was stirred for 1 hour. 3 equivalents of the MeI alkylating agent was added slowly and the reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature for 2 hours. Aqueous work-up using NH4Cl and EtOAc gave a crude alkylated 3-methoxybenzoquinoline intermediate 14. Intermediate 14 was then purified by normal phase flash chromatography employing EtOAc:hexane (1:19) as the mobile phase (1HNMR: CD3Cl d 8.1 (broad d, 1 H, J=8.1 Hz), 7.68(dd, 1 H, J=8.1, 1.8 Hz), 7.34 (m, 2 H), 6.8 (s, 1 H), 3.92 (s, 3 H), 3.21 (m, 2 H), 2.94 (s, 3 H), 2.77 (t, 2 H, J=6.6 Hz), 1.92 (m, 2 H)). Subsequent methoxy group deprotection by the general boron tribromide procedure described above in Example 1 resulted in the N-methyl-hydroxybenzoquinoline derivative 15.
