Reaction Steps

2,3-Dimethyl-4-cyclopropanecarbonyloxy-6-fluoro-7-chloroquinoline (590 mg) prepared as described in Example 9 was dissolved in 5 ml of methanol, and 5 ml of a 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added to this solution. The mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 3 hr. The reaction mixture was allowed to stand for cooling, was then poured into 50 ml of water, and was neutralized with 1 N hydrochloric acid, and the precipitate was then collected by filtration to give 400 mg of 2,3-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-6-fluoro-7-chloroquinoline. In 3 ml of tetrahydrofuran was suspended 26.4 mg of 60% sodium hydride. Separately, 100 mg of 2,3-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-6-fluoro-7-chloroquinoline (starting material 1) prepared above was suspended in 2 ml of tetrahydrofuran, and this suspension was added dropwise to the above suspension under ice cooling. After stirring for one hr, 0.1 ml of methyl chloroformate (starting material 2) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hr. The reaction solution was poured into water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and saturated brine and was then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was then removed by evaporation under the reduced pressure. The crude product thus obtained was purified on Wako Gel C-200 (100 ml; elution solvent=n-hexane-ethyl acetate (10:1)) to give 48 mg of 2,3-dimethyl-4-methoxycarbonyloxy-6-fluoro-7-chloroquinoline (compound 28). 1H-NMR data are shown in Table 3.
