To a mixture of NaH (0.58 g, 14.43 mmol) in DMSO (15 mL) at 20-35° C. was slowly added a solution of methyl 2-(2-methylquinolin-8-yl)acetate (1.35 g, 6.272 mmol) and iodomethane (1.08 ml, 17.25 mmol) in THF (5 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 20 hours. Brine (20 mL) and ether (50 mL) were added. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried (sodium sulfate), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give methyl 2-(2-methylquinolin-8-yl)propanoate (1.44 g, 100%) as an oil. The methyl 2-(2-methylquinolin-8-yl)propanoate (1.44 g, 6.28 mmol) was taken up in THF (10 mL) and 1 N lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (12.56 mL, 12.56 mmol) in THF was added at 0° C. After addition, the reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 40 minutes. Iodomethane (0.78 mL, 12.56 mmol) was added dropwise and the reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 18 hours. Water (10 mL) and ether (50 mL) were added. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried (sodium sulfate), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (8:1 hexane/ethyl acetate) to give methyl 2-methyl-2-(2-methylquinolin-8-yl)propanoate (0.67 g, 43.9%) as an oil.
