Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-hydroxy-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid (A-1) (50 mg, 0.26 mmol), HBTU (99 mg, 0.26 mmol) and DIEA (138 μL, 0.79 mmol) in THF (2.6 mL) was added 2-methyl-5-nitro-phenylamine (40 mg, 0.26 mmol). The mixture was heated at 150° C. in the microwave for 20 min and the resulting solution was concentrated. The residue was dissolved in EtOH (2 mL) and SnCl2.2H2O (293 mg, 1.3 mmol) was added. The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was basified with sat. NaHCO3 solution to pH 7-8 and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in DMSO and purified by HPLC (10-99% CH3CN/H2O) to yield the product, N-(5-amino-2-methyl-phenyl)-4-oxo-1H-quinoline-3-carboxamide (94) (6 mg, 8%). HPLC ret. time 2.06 min, 10-99% CH3CN, 5 min run; ESI-MS 294.2 m/z (MH+).
