Reaktionsschritte

In other embodiments, the synthesis of racemic monochloroflosequinan is carried out as a three step procedure, as described in more detail in Example 2. Briefly, in the first step, racemic flosequinan is reduced to desoxyflosequinan (7-fluoro-1-methyl-3-methylthio-4-quinolone). In the second step, desoxyflosequinan is chlorinated using N-chlorosuccinimide, to produce chlorodesoxyflosequinan (3-chloromethylthio-7-fluoro-1-methyl-4-quinolone). In the third step, chlorodesoxyflosequinan is subjected to oxidation to produce 3-chloromethylsulfinyl-7-fluoro-1-methyl-4-quinolone (monochloroflosequinan). Such oxidation may be accomplished using hydrogen peroxide.
