Reaction Steps

3-Butyryl-4-(4-fluoro-2-methylphenylamino)-8-hydroxyquinoline (3.38 g, 10 mmol) and potassium t-butoxide (3.05 g, 25 mmol) were dissolved in dimethyl formamide (30 ml), warmed to 70° and 3-dimethylaminopropyl chloride hydrochloride (1.90 g, 12 mmol) added. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 80° then a further portion of potassium t-butoxide (2.44 g, 20 mmol) and 3-dimethylaminopropyl chloride hydrochloride (1.58 g, 10 mmol) added, and stirring continued overnight. A third portion of potassium t-butoxide (2.44 g, 20 mmol) and 3-dimethylaminopropyl chloride hydrochloride (1.58 g, 10 mmol) was added and the temperature raised to 85° . After a further 5 hours the mixture was poured into water, extracted with ether and the ether extracts dried and evaporated. Chromatography (silica gel, 4-6% methanolic ammmonia in dichloromethane) and recrystallisation from ethyl acetate gave 3-butyryl-4-(4-fluoro-2-methylphenyl-amino)-8-(3-dimethylaminopropoxy)quinoline (0.46 g, 11%), m.p. 99°-100°.
