Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2.8 g (20.5 mmol) K2CO3 and a 40% aq. dimethylamine solution (20.5 ml) were added to a solution of 2.0 g (6.8 mmol) 2-ethylsulfanyl-7-fluoro-4-methyl-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester in EtOH (20 ml) and the mixture was heated for 16 h at 90° C. in a closed vessel. Then the reaction solution was concentrated to small volume under vacuum and the residue was taken up with water. It was then extracted with EE. The organic phase was washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to small volume under vacuum. Column chromatography (hexane/EE 25:1) of the residue yielded 810 mg (2.55 mmol, 38%) 7-dimethylamino-2-ethylsulfanyl-4-methyl-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester.
