Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 3-(dimethylamino)-2-(2,4,5-trifluorobenzoyl)acrylate (64 g, 212 mmol) in a mixed solvent of Ethanol (150 mL)/Diethyl ether (300 mL) was added tert-Butylamine (44.6 mL, 425 mmol), and the reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 2 h. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, the resulting oily residue was dissolved in N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) (250 mL) and potassium carbonate (88 g, 637 mmol) was added. LCMS showed completion of the reaction after being stirred at 100° C. for 2 h. Cold water was added to the mixture, and the precipitates were collected by filtration and dried to afford ethyl 1-(tert-butyl)-6,7-difluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylate (60 g, 194 mmol, 91% yield) as pale yellow solid. LCMS: (M+H)+: 310.1
