Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3,3-dimethyl-2-{3-[(morpholine-4-carbonyl)-amino]-phenyl}-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoline-6-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (437 mg, 1 mmol) in methanol (10 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (20 mL), 30% sodium hydroxide in water (10 mL) was stirred at 55° C. for 32 h. The mixture was neutralized with a 3 N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL), washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated in vacuo. Purification by Waters automated flash system (column: Xterra 30 mm×100 mm, sample manager 2767, pump 2525, detector: ZQ mass and UV 2487, solvent system: acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid in water) afforded 3,3-dimethyl-2-{3-[(morpholine-4-carbonyl)-amino]-phenyl}-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoline-6-carboxylic acid (90 mg, 22%) as a white solid: LC/MS m/e calcd for C23H27N3O4 (M+H)+: 410.49, observed: 410.2.
