Reaction Steps

6-Bromo-3-nitroquinolin-4-ol (Compound of step 2, 20 g, 74.3 mmol) and POCl3 (150 mL, 1613 mmol) were stirred for 45 minutes at 120° C. The mixture was cooled to RT and poured slowly into ice-water. The precipitate was filtered, washed with ice-cold water, and dissolved in CH2Cl2. The organic layer was washed with cold brine, and was dried over Na2SO4.
