1,4-Cyclohexadiene → N-(3-Fluoro-4-((7-hydroxy-6-methoxyquinolin-4-yl)oxy)phenyl)-N-(4-fluorophenyl)cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylic acid [4-(7-benzyloxy-6-methoxy-quinolin-4-yloxy)-3-fluoro-phenyl]-amide (4-fluoro-phenyl)-amide (1.18 g, 2.0 mmol) in EtOH (20 mL) was added 1,4-cyclohexadiene (2.0 mL, 20 mmol) and 10% Pd/C (300 mg). The reaction mixture was then heated to reflux and the stirring was continued for 2 h. It was cooled to room temperature, filtered through celite and washed with MeOH. The MeOH solution was then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was taken into EtOAc (200 mL). The EtOAc solution washed with water, and dried over Na2SO4. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure gave 900 mg (89%) of the crude product (90% purity by analytical HPLC), which was used in the next reaction without further purification.
