Diethyl Malonate → Ethyl 1-isopropyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3-quinolinecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 133.7 g of 2-isopropylaminobenzaldehyde hydrochloride, 200 g of diethyl malonate, 70 ml of piperidine, 70 ml of acetic acid, 50 g of potassium carbonate and 1.5 liter of toluene was heated to reflux for 10 hours. The reaction solution was washed with water and then with saturated sodium hydrogencarbonate aqueous solution, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off to give 256 g of ethyl 1-isopropyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3-quinolinecarboxylate as the crude product.
