Reaction Steps

9-Hydroxy-1-oxo-6,7-dihydro-1H,5H-pyrido[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-2-carboxylic acid (GB1417129) (0.905 g, 3.69 mmol) was suspended in dry DMF (50 mL). To this was added potassium carbonate (3.06 g, 22 mmol) and dibenzyl-(2-chloroethyl)amine hydrochloride (2.37 g, 8 mmol). The mixture was heated at 60° C. for 16 h, then more potassium carbonate (0.55 g) and dibenzyl-(2-chloroethyl)amine hydrochloride (1.18 g, 4 mmol) were added. After a further 25 h at 75° C. the mixture was evaporated. The residue was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (×3). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried and evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude product (4.0 g) was purified by chromatography on silica gel (100 g), eluting with 0-4% methanol in dichloromethane, to give the title compound (2.25 g, 89%); ESMS m/z 692 [M+H]+ (100%).
