Participants

Reaction Steps

In step 1 of sequence A, an aniline, substituted by the appropriate R2 group or groups, is condensed with a dialkyl alkoxymethylenemalonate such as diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate by heating at 120° to 150°C. The intermediate formed is condensed by heating at a temperature of 150° to 300°C. in a high boiling inert solvent such as diphenyl ether or mixtures of diphenyl ether and biphenyl (e.g. Dowtherm A) to give the ethyl 4-hydroxyquinoline-3-carboxylate product of step 1.
