Dimethylformamide → HCID 25102820, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (60% in oil, 76 mg, 1.9 mmol) was added to a DMF solution (10 ml) of 5-fluoro-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-8-propoxy-1H-quinolin-4-one (400 mg, 1.22 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes. Methyl iodide (225 mg, 1.6 mmol) was added thereto, and then the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 19 hours. Water and ethyl acetate were added to the reaction mixture to separate the mixture into two layers. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was then purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1). The purified product was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was recrystallized from ethyl acetate to thereby obtain 365 mg of powdery pale yellow 5-fluoro-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-methyl-8-propoxy-1H-quinolin-4-one (yield: 72%).
