Reaction Steps

To 4-methyl-5-(2-methyl-5-quinolinyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione (3.6 g, prepared in analogy to the method described in WO200240471) in ethanol (60 mL) containing 1-bromo-3-chloropropane (2.0 mL) was carefully added with stirring sodium hydride (0.60 g, 60% in petrolium). The mixture was heated at reflux for 45 min. Volatiles were evaporated in vacuo and the residue submitted to column chromatography (EtOAc—acetone gradient). The material thus obtained was precipitated from hot EtOAc (20 mL) by adding petroleum ether (40-60, 50 mL), cooled and collected by filtration to provide the title compound as colourless crystals (2.1 g).
