Reaction Steps

1.17 g of ethyl 1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-8-ethinyl-6,7-difluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylate are refluxed for 1 hour in a mixture of 9 ml of glacial acetic acid, 0.75 ml of water and 0.2 ml of concentrated sulphuric acid. The solid which has crystallised out at room temperature is filtered off with suction and dried. 0.98 g of 1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-8-ethinyl-6,7-difluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid is obtained (90% of theory).
