Sodium Hydroxide → 5-Amino-1-cyclopropyl-6,7-difluoro-1,4-dihydro-8-methoxy-4-oxo-2-phenylquinoline-3-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 5-amino-1-cyclopropyl-6,7-difluoro-1,4-dihydro-8-methoxy-4-oxo-2-phenylquinoline-3-carboxylate (980 mg, 2.36 nmol) and 1M aq. NaOH (5 mL) in EtOH (15 mL) was stirred at 50° C. for 24 h. After the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, the residue was dissolved in water and 2M HCl was added to pH<3. The crude product was extracted with EtOAc, washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (Hexane:EtOAc 5:1→1:1) to yield 5-amino-1-cyclopropyl-6,7-difluoro-1,4-dihydro-8-methoxy-4-oxo-2-phenylquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (574 mg, 63%) as a yellow amorphous solid.
