Reaction Steps

6,7-Difluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (10.0 g, 39.5 mmol), 1-bromo-2-fluoroethane (25.1 g, 197.5 mmol) and potassium carbonate (10.9 g, 79 mmol) were combined in dimethylformamide (200 ml) and heated to 90° for 20 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into cold water (1.5 l), and the copious precipitate was filtered. The precipitate was washed with cold water and recrystallized from ethyl acetate to provide the title product as light brown needles, m.p. 178°-180° (8.22 g, 27.5 mmol, 70% yield).
