Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-bromo-8-methoxy-2-quinolinol (4c) (2.22 g, 8.7 mmol) and POCl3 (7 mL) was heated under reflux for 1.5 hours. After neutralization with NaHCO3 and extraction with AcOEt, the residue was dissolved in CHCl3 and filtered through silica gel to remove the brown polar impurities. The product (1.99 g, 84% yield) was obtained as white crystals upon recrystalization from AcOEt-Hexanes. mp 130-132° C.; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3), 8.06 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.66 (d, J=9.2 Hz, 1H), 7.42 (d, J=9.2 Hz, 1H), 7.39 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 4.17 (s, 3H).
