Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Thionyl chloride (150 mL, 2.08 mol) was added to a solution of ethyl 6-bromo-7-fluoro-4-oxo-1H-quinoline-3-carboxylate (25 g, 79.59 mmol) in DMF (50 mL) and the solution stirred at 80° C. for 4 h. The mixture was concentrated under vacuum and quenched by the addition of ice/water. The reaction mixture was extracted with DCM (8×100 mL), the organic extracts combined and the mixture adjusted to pH=7 by the addition of 1.5M ammonium hydrogen carbonate. The resulting mixture was washed with water (3×100 mL), the organics dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to afford the desired material (20 g, 76%) as a light yellow solid which was used without further purification. NMR Spectrum: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.49-1.42 (3H, m), 4.54-4.82 (2H, q), 7.86 (1H, d), 8.69 (1H, d), 9.23 (1H, s). Mass Spectrum: m/z (ES+)[M+H]+=334.
