Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-(3,5-difluoro-phenyl)-4-hydroxy-3,3-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoline-6-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (5.34 g, 14.8 mmol) and triethylsilane (20 mL) at 25° C. was added trifluoroacetic acid (5 mL) dropwise. The resulting mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 1 h. Then the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×200 mL), washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (2×100 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. Purification on flash silica gel chromatography (silica gel from QingDao, 200-300 mesh, glass column from Shanghai SD company)(10% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to afford 2-(3,5-difluoro-phenyl)-3,3-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoline-6-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (2.0 g, 41%) as a white solid: LC/MS m/e calcd for C20H21F2NO2 (M+H)+: 346.4, observed: 346.1.
