Participants

Reaction Steps

After a mixture of ethyl 8-benzyloxy-6,7-difluoro-4-hydroxy-3-quinolinecarboxylate (410 mg) and anhydrous potassium carbonate (315 mg) in dry dimethylformamide (10 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours, O-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydroxylamine (260 mg) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for further 6.5 hours. After removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, water (12 ml) was added to the residue, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with cold water and then with ether to give 405 mg of ethyl 1-amino-8-benzyloxy-6,7-difluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-3-quinolinecarboxylate. An analytical sample, mp 143°-144° C.; MS m/z 374 (M+), was prepared by recrystallization from methanol.
