Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

6-Methoxy-4-(2-methyl-quinolin-3-yloxy)-7-oxiranylmethoxy-quinoline (compound 383) (30 mg) was dissolved in dichloromethane (1.5 ml) to prepare a solution. Trifluoroacetic acid (1 ml) was added to the solution at 0° C., and the mixture was then stirred at 0° C. for 2 hr. The reaction solution was made alkaline by the addition of a 1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide 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 (21 mg, yield 67%).
