Reaction Steps

4.7 g 4-Cyclopentyl-2-(1-methoxy-ethyl)-7,7-dimethyl-3-(4-trifluoromethyl-benzoyl)-4,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-quinolin-5-one are dissolved in 100 ml dichloromethane, cooled to 0° C. and 2.5 g 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone are added portionwise. The temperature is raised during 3 hours to room temperature. Then the volume is reduced to approximately 60 ml by evaporation in vacuo, the mixture is filtered and the filter cake is washed 5 times with 50 ml of dichloromethane. The combined organic phases are evaporated in vacuo and the residue is chromatographed on silica gel (cyclohexane/ethylacetate 90:10 to 50:50). The product thus obtained is dissolved in cyclohexane/ethylacetate 70:30 and treated with charcoal. The mixture is filtered and the charcoal is washed 3 times with 100 ml cyclohexane/ethylacetate 70:30. The combined organic phases are evaporated in vacuo.
