In the invented process, an ester of 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-oxobutanoate is reacted with 1,3-cyclohexanedione and 3-cyanobenzaldehyde to form an ester of 4-(3-cyanophenyl)-2-hydroxy-5-oxo-2-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroquinoline-3-carboxylate. The 4-(3-cyanophenyl)-2-hydroxy-5-oxo-2-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroquinoline-3-carboxylate ester is dehydrated to form a urethane, which is an ester of 4-(3-cyanophenyl)-5-oxo-2-(trifluoromethyl)-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydroquinoline-3-carboxylate. The urethane is de-esterified to form 4-(3-cyanophenyl)-5-oxo-2-(trifluoromethyl)-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid.
