Reaction Steps

4-(6,7-Dimethoxy-4-quinolyloxy)aniline (300 mg) was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 ml) to prepare a solution. 4-Tert-butylcyclohexanone (200 mg) was then added to the solution, and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for one hr. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature before sodium triacetoxy borohydride (400 mg) was added thereto. The mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 3 hr. Water and ethyl acetate were added to the reaction solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine and was dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed by evaporation under the reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel using chloroform/acetone for development to give the title compound (50 mg, yield 11%).
