Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture solution of 7-fluoro-3,3-dimethyl-2-(3-morpholin-4-yl-phenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoline-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester (400 mg, 1.0 mmol) in methanol (5.0 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (5.0 mL) was added 50% sodium hydroxide in water (1.0 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 6 hours. 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% ammonium hydroxide in water) afforded 7-fluoro-3,3-dimethyl-2-(3-morpholin-4-yl-phenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoline-5-carboxylic acid (345 mg, 90%) as a light yellow solid: LC/MS m/e calcd for C22H25FN2O3 (M+H)+: 385.45, observed: 385.1.
