Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 3,4-dichloroquinoline-6-carboxylate (100 mg), pyrrolidine (33 mg), and NMP (2 mL) was heated under stirring at 180° C. for 10 minutes under microwave irradiation. The reaction mixture was diluted with water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified under silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to obtain methyl 3-chloro-4-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)quinoline-6-carboxylate (40 mg).
