Reaction Steps

The product of step 2 (206.5 mg, 0.5 mmole) and 1-chloro-3-bromopropane (95 mg, 0.6 mmole) was dissolved in dimethylsulphoxide (5 ml) in the presence of potassium butoxide (0.55 ml, 1.0M in THF, 0.55 mmole) in and the mixture held at room temperature for 18 hours. Water was added and the mixture extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were washed with water and brine then dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to give 4-(4-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-anilino)-3-cyano-6-methoxy-7-(3-chloropropoxy)quinoline (189 mg, 77%) as a yellow gum.
