Participants

Reaction Steps

7-Methoxy-2-oxo-8-pentyloxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (240 mg) obtained in Example 1-1 was dissolved in methanol (7 ml) and water (3 ml), to which sodium hydroxide (120 ml) was added, and the solution was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. While the reaction vessel was cooled with ice, the solution was acidified with the addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid, and extracted with ethyl acetate (20 ml). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered to remove the desiccating agent, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (228 ml) (Table 6).
