Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 3-{[4-(benzyloxy)-3-methylquinolin-2-yl]methoxy}-5-hydroxybenzoate (2.10 g), 4-(bromomethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyrane (2.29 g), potassium carbonate (0.98 g), and DMF (40 mL) was stirred at 80° C. for 13 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and then water was added to the residue, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate (150 mL). The organic layer was washed sequentially with water and saturated brine, and dried. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: chloroform/methanol=20/1) to obtain ethyl 3-{[4-(benzyloxy)-3-methylquinolin-2-yl]methoxy}-5-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ylmethoxy)benzoate (2.50 g).
