Reaction Steps

Ethyl 6-(2,3-dichlorobenzyl)-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylate obtained in Step 3 (400 mg, 1.1 mmol) was suspended in dimethylformamide (DMF; 8 ml) and 2-bromoethyl acetate (152 μl, 1.4 mmol) and potassium carbonate (440 mg, 3.2 mmol) were added. The mixture was stirred with heating at 80° C. During the stirring, 2-bromoethyl acetate (152 μl, 1.4 mmol) was added twice and the mixture was stirred with heating at 80° C. for the total of 1.5 hrs. After allowing the mixture to cool, saturated aqueous ammonium chloride was added to the reaction solution, and the precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with water and vacuum-dried to give an object product (468 mg, yield 95%) as a white solid.
