Reaction Steps

Ethyl 4-(4-methoxybenzylamino)-2,5-dimethylquinoline-3-carboxylate (Example 12a, 0.563 g, 1.54 mmol) was dissolved in TFA (8 mL) and the resultant solution was stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes, TFA was then removed under vacuum to give the crude ethyl 4 product, which was dissolved in EtOH (4 mL). To this solution was added NaOH (4.0 N, 3.86 mL) and the reaction mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 1 hr. Water (25 mL) was added, and the solvent was decanted away from insoluble material then acidified with AcOH to pH 5.5. The precipitate was collected by filtration to give the title compound (300 mg, 90%) as a white solid. 1H NR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 2.78 (s, 3H), 2.88 (s, 3H), 7.30 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 1H), 7.58 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.65 (m, 1H), 7.8-8.0 (br, 1H), 12.2-12.9 (br, 2H). MS 217 (MH+).
