Reaction Steps

Methyl 4-oxo-4,5-dihydrothieno[3,2-c]quinoline-7-carboxylate (1.0 eq, 1.50 g, 5.79 mmol) was suspended in dry toluene (15 ml). POCl3 (1.2 eq, 0.64 mmol, 6.99 mmol) and DIEA (0.8 eq, 0.81 mmol, 4.65 mmol) were added and the mixture vigorously stirred at 120° C. for 3 hours under nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture was hydrolyzed by addition of ice and water. The compound was extracted with CH2Cl2 (4×). The combined extracts were dried over Na2SO4 and the black solution filtered through a pad of celite. After evaporation of the volatiles in vacuo, the resulting solid was triturated in a mixture of AcOEt and hexanes. Filtration and drying provided methyl 4-chlorothieno[3,2-c]quinoline-7-carboxylate as a yellow fluffy solid (1.14 g, 71% yield). LCMS (ES): 95% pure, m/z 278 [M+1]+, 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 4.01 (s, 3H), 7.72 (d, J=4.8, 1H), 7.74 (d, J=5.2, 1H), 8.14 (d, J=8.4, 1H), 8.25 (d, J=8.4, 1H), 8.85 (d, J=1.6, 1H) ppm.
