Reaction Steps

A suspension of 1.3 g (4.3 mmol) of 2-(4-Isopropylthiazol-2-yl)-7-methoxyquinolin-4-ol, product of step F, in 60 mL of POCl3 was heated to reflux for 2 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo, the residue diluted with ice cold water and the mixture adjusted to pH 9 while cooling to 0° C. This aqueous solution was extracted several times with EtOAc. The combined EtOAc extracts were washed once with brine, pH 4 buffer, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated to afford 0.89 g (64%) of 4-Chloro-2-(4-isopropylthiazol-2-yl)-7-methoxyquinoline as a yellow solid: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 1.38 (d, J=7 Hz, 6H), 3.19 (m, 1H), 3.98 (s, 3H), 7.06 (s, 1H), 7.26 (m, 1H), 7.47 (d, J=2 Hz, 1H), 8.10 (d, J=9 Hz, 1H), 8.31 (s, 1H). LC-MS m/e 319 (retention time: 2.20, method A).
