2-(1,4-Diazepan-1-yl)ethan-1-ol → 8-Chloro-1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-7-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,4-diazepan-1-yl]-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid

Reaction Steps

350 mg (1.2 mmol) of 8-Chloro-1-cyclopropyl-6,7-difluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (for preparation see: DE 3420743) are dissolved according to DE 3635218 in 3 ml of dry pyridine and heated at reflux with 202 mg (1.4 mmol) of hexahydro-1H-1,4-diazepine-1-ethanol for 4 hours. After standing overnight the mixture is concentrated, taken up with water and brought to pH 6 using dilute hydrochloric acid. The solution is saturated with sodium chloride at boiling heat. After it has cooled to room temperature, it is extracted a number of times with dichloromethane. The organic extracts are filtered over a little silica gel and concentrated. 288 mg of the target compound are obtained this way. The compound is used as a crude product in the subsequent reaction stages.
