Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(2-Amino-4-benzyloxy-5-methoxy-phenyl)-ethanone (108 mmol, 29.3 g) in DME (700 ml) was added sodium methoxide (432 mmol, 23.35 g). The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. Ethyl formate (540 mmol, 44 ml) was added and the mixture was stirred overnight. (Additional sodium methoxide may be needed if reaction is not complete as monitored by LC/MS.) After the reaction was completion, the mixture was diluted with water (40 ml) and acidified to neutral with 1M HCl. The precipitate was filtered and washed with water, dried in vacuo to afford 22 g (72%) of 7-benzyloxy-6-methoxy-quinolin-4-ol. 1H NMR (CDCl3): 10.7 (1H, br), 7.703 (1H, s), 7.493-7.461 (1H, t), 7.431-7.413 (2H, br d), 7.372-7.333 (2H, t), 7.296-7.283 (1H, d), 6.839 (1H, s), 6.212-6.193 (1H, d), 5.212 (2H, s), 3.965 (3H, s). LC/MS (M+1=282).
