Reaction Steps

Into a suspension of 1.26 g of sodium hydride (60% content) in 15 ml of N-methylpyrrolidone, was added 3.28 g of 4-amino-3-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-b]quinoline at room temperature. The mixture was heated to 50° C. and stirred for 40 minutes. Thereafter, 4.72 g of methyl 2-oxo-1-pyrrolidine acetate was added dropwise to the mixture at 50° C. over a period of 30 minutes. After the stirrng at 50° C. for 20 minutes, the mixture was cooled to 15° C. and poured into 130 ml aqueous solution containing 13.5 g of ammonium chloride.
