Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 6-quinolinecarboxylic acid (12 g, 69 mmol) in DMF (100 mL) was added 1,1′-Carbonyldiimidazole (11.2 g, 69.3 mmol) and the mixture stirred at 40° C. for 1 hour. tert-Butanol (13 mL, 139 mmol) and 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (10.4 mL, 69.3 mmol) were added and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 4 h. After cooling to room temperature the reaction mixture was quenched with water (400 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate/heptane (1:3, 2×400 mL). The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to give quinoline-6-carboxylic acid t-butyl ester (14.54 g, 92%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.63 (9H, s), 7.42-7.46 (1H, m), 8.10 (1H, d), 8.23 (1H, d), 8.26 (1H, d), 8.50 (1H, d), 8.96-8.98 (1H, m).
