Reaction Steps

7-(benzyloxy)-4-chloroquinoline 90-B was prepared (see general synthesis Scheme I) from the commercially available compound 90-A (from Aldrich). A mixture of 90-B (2.8 g, 10.4 mmol), 6-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-benzofuran-3-carboxylic acid 90-C (2 g, 10.4 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (10.1 g, 31.4 mmol) in DMSO (70 ml) was heated to 130° C. for 2 hours. The solution was poured into water, neutralized with AcOH and extracted with EtOAc. The concentrated residue was purified by silica gel chromatography using 2-5% MeOH in CH2Cl2 to give 6-{([7-(benzyloxy)quinolin-4-yl]oxy}-2-methyl-1-benzofuran-3-carboxylic acid 90-D (4.2 g, 94% yield) as a solid.
