Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl-4-amino-5-(cyclohexyloxy)-2-methylquinoline-3-carboxylate (Example 36a, 110 g, 0.335 mol) in EtOH (450 mL) was added a solution of NaOH (33.5 g, 0.837 mol) in water (200 mL) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then refluxed overnight. The reaction solution was cooled down to 0° C. and carefully neutralized with 4N HCl to pH 7. The resultant solution was concentrated under reduced pressure to remove most of the EtOH. The precipitate was collected by filtration, and re-dissolved in EtOH (4 L) at 65° C. and treated with activated charcoal (5 g) for 0.5 h. The charcoal was removed by filtration over celite, and the filtrate was concentrated. The precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with cold water, and dried under vacuum at 60° C. overnight to give the title compound as a white solid (100 g, 99%). M.p.: 220.0-221.5° C. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 1.28-1.72 (m, 8H), 2.00-2.04 (m, 2H), 2.75 (s, 3H), 4.69-4.71 (m, 1H), 7.10-7.12 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.24-7.26 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.65 (t, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 12.80 (brs, 1H). MS 301 (MH+). Elemental Analysis Calculated (Found) for C17H20N2O3: C, 67.98% (67.74%); H, 6.71% (7.01%); N, 9.33% (9.40%).
