Diisopropyl Ether → Ethyl 1-(chloromethyl)methylamino-6,7,8-trifluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 1-(ethoxymethyl)methylamino-6,7,8-trifluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylate (200 mg) in dry acetonitrile (2.0 ml) was added trichloromethylsilane (65.8 μl) under ice -cooling and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes, and then for 10 minutes at room temperature. To the reaction mixture was added diisopropyl ether (10 ml), which was then stirred for 15 minutes at ambient temperature. The precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with diisopropyl ether and dried in vacuo over phosphorus pentaoxide to give ethyl 1-(chloromethyl)methylamino-6,7,8-trifluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylate (145 mg).
