Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Propyl 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoate (400 mg), 4-chloro-6,7-dimethoxyquinoline (130 mg), and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (213 mg) were suspended in o-dichlorobenzene (4 ml), and the suspension was stirred at 140° C. for 12.5 hr. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, water was then added thereto, and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. The chloroform layer was washed with saturated brine and was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed by distillation under the reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by thin layer chromatography using chloroform-acetone to give the title compound (108 mg, yield 44%).
