Butyric Acid → butyryloxy(phenyl)methyl 7-(4-(4-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl)butoxy)-2-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoline-1(2H)-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of chloro(phenyl)methyl 7-(4-(4-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl)butoxy)-2-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoline-1(2H)-carboxylate (4.11 g, 6.66 mmol) in dimethyl formamide (40 mL) was added butyric acid (0.91 mL, 9.99 mmol) and cesium carbonate (1.63 g, 4.99 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 20 hours then diluted with ethyl acetate (40 mL) and washed with 1:1 water/brine (3×50 mL). The organics were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica eluting with 0.5% Et3N/ethyl acetate to give butyryloxy(phenyl)methyl 7-(4-(4-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl)butoxy)-2-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoline-1(2H)-carboxylate, Compound-91 (1.12 g). The material was determined to be 67% pure by LCMS.
