Reaction Steps

6-Methoxy-4-(2-methyl-quinolin-3-yloxy)-quinolin-7-ol (compound 352) (200 mg) was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 ml) to prepare a solution. 1-Bromo-2-chloroethane (432 mg) and potassium carbonate (416 mg) were added to the solution, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Water was added to the reaction solution, and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. The chloroform layer was washed with water and was then 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-methanol to give the title compound (186 mg, yield 78%).
