4-Quinolinecarboxaldehyde → Ethyl 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6-(hydroxy-4-quinolinylmethyl)-3-methyl-1-(2-methylpropyl)-2,4-dioxothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-5-carboxylate

Reaction Steps

A solution of lithium diisopropylamide (5.52 g) in anhydrous THF (80 ml) was added dropwise over 1 h to a stirred solution of the product of step c) (8.02 g) and 4-quinolinecarboxaldehyde (8.12 g) in anhydrous THF (80 ml) at −78° C. under nitrogen. The mixture was stirred for a further 1 hour at −78° C. then quenched with glacial acetic acid (10 ml), allowed to warm to room temperature, diluted with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (100 ml) and extracted into ethyl acetate (2×100 ml). The combined extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography, eluting with 3:2 ethyl acetate/i-hexane, to give the sub-title compound as a white solid (7.35 g).
