Reaction Steps

Hydroxylamine, hydrochloride (0.0131 mol) was added to a solution of (±)-4-[[4-(3-chlorophenyl)-1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-6-quinolinyl]hydroxy(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methyl]benzaldehyde monohydrochloride (described in Example B1) (0.0087 mol) in ethanol (45 ml). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and 30 minutes then refluxed for 2 hours, poured out into K2CO3 10% and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was separated, dried MgSO4), filtered and the solvent was evaporated. The residue (4.86 g) was purified by column chromatography over silica gel (eluent: CH2Cl2/CH3OH/NH4OH 95/5/0.1; 15–40 μm). The pure fractions were collected and the solvent was evaporated, yielding: two fractions. The first fraction was crystallized from CH3CN/diethyl ether. The precipitate was filtered off and dried, yielding 1.69 g (38%) of -4-[[4-(3-chlorophenyl)-1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-6-quinolinyl]ethoxy(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methyl]benzaldehyde oxime, of indeterminate E/Z configuration mp. 232° C. The second fraction was crystallized from CH3CN/diethyl ether. The precipitate was filtered off and dried, yielding 1.91 g (45%) of -4-[[4-(3-chlorophenyl)-1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-6-quinolinyl]hydroxy(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methyl]benzaldehyde oxime, of indeterminate E/Z configuration, mp. 230° C.
