Potassium Carbonate → Ethyl 1-cyclopropyl-6,7-difluoro-8-methyl-5-nitro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 10.0 g of ethyl 3-cyclopropylamino-2-(2,4,5-trifluoro-3-methyl-6-nitrobenzoyl)acrylate and 0.1 g of 18-crown-6-ether in 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran, 8.04 g of potassium carbonate was added, and then the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 23 hours. The deposited crystals were collected by filtration and washed with tetrahydrofuran, water and acetone to give 8.56 g of the desired compound. Recrystallization from N,N-dimethylformamide gave colorless needles, which were identified as the compound of Example 5.
