Triethylamine → 1-Cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-7-(3-dimethylamino-1-azetidinyl)-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.25 g (1.32 mmoles) of 1-cyclopropyl-6,7-difluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid, 0.34 g (12 mmoles) of 3-dimethylaminoazetidine dihydrochloride and 3.3 g (33 mmoles) of triethylamine is heated under reflux in 10 ml of pryidine for 2 hours. The mixture is evaporated under vacuum, water is added and the resulting mixture made alkaline with 1N sodium hydroxide, heated, filtered while hot, acidified with acetic acid and filtered again. After washing with water, 0.4 g (88%) of 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-7-(3-dimethylamino-1-azetidinyl)-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid are obtained, melting at 255°-61° C.
