Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-Chloro-6,7-dimethoxyquinoline (226 mg), 3-chloro-5,6-dihydroxypyridine (290 mg), and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (360 mg) were suspended in o-dichlorobenzene (13 ml), and the suspension was stirred at 160° C. for 3 hr. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, water was then added to the residue, and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. The chloroform layer was washed with 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 methanol-chloroform to give 4-(5-chloro-2-hydroxy-pyridin-3-yloxy)-6,7-dimethoxyquinoline (83 mg, yield 25%).
