Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 2-(quinolin-8-yloxy)propanoate (100 mg, 0.4 mmol) in EtOH (1 ml) was added a solution of NaOH (24 mg, 0.6 mmol) in H2O (0.5 ml) at 27° C. The mixture was stirred for 30 min at 27° C. The mixture was then concentrated and the residue treated with water (5 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×5 mL). The water layer was then treated with 2N HCl until pH 3 before being extracted with ethyl acetate (2×5 ml). The organic layer was washed with brine (30 mL), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to give the title product (70 mg, 80.5%) as a white solid which was used in next step without further purification.
