Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-Chloro-6,7-dimethoxyquinoline (245 mg), 3-chloro-5-pyridinol (277 mg), and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (377 mg) were suspended in o-dichlorobenzene (13 ml), and the mixture was stirred at 140° C. for 6 hr. Water was added to the reaction solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and water and was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed by distillation under the reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography using acetone-chloroform to give the title compound (283 mg, yield 81%).
