Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(3,4-diisopropoxyphenyl)-6,7-dimethoxy-2-(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)quinoline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (116.0 rag) in dichloromethane (2.5 ml), titanium tetrachloride (TICl4) (288 mg) was added at 0° C., followed by stirring at the same temperature for 6 hours. The reaction mixture was poured over water and extracted with chloroform. The chloroform layer was washed by sequential additions of a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and water and then dried (MgSO4), after which the solvent was distilled off. The residual oily substance was subjected to silica gel column chromatography and eluted with chloroform-ethyl acetate (7:3, v/v) to yield 4-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-6,7-dimethoxy-2-(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)quinoline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (20.0 mg, 21%) having a melting point of 122° to 124° C.
