1,8-Diazabicyclo(5.4.0)undec-7-ene → 5-Amino-7-(3-amino-3-methyl1-pyrrolidinyl)-1-cyclopropyl-6,8-difluoro-1,4-dihydro4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-amino-1-cyclopropyl-6,7,8-trifluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (1.5 g), 3-amino-3-methylpyrrolidine (0.76 g), DBU (0.77 g), and acetonitrile (30 ml) was refluxed for 7 hours. The precipitated crystals were collected by filtration after cooling, and washed with acetonitrile. The crystals were suspended in water (50 ml) and dissolved by addition of a 10% aqueous solution of acetic acid. The solution was treated with activated carbon, and adjusted to pH 7-8 with 10% aqueous ammonia. The precipitated crystals were collected by filtration, washed with water and then with ethanol, and dried to give 5-amino-7-(3-amino-3-methyl1-pyrrolidinyl)-1-cyclopropyl-6,8-difluoro-1,4-dihydro4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (1.15 g), m.p. 271°-273° C. (decomp.).
