1,8-Diazabicyclo(5.4.0)undec-7-ene → 7-(cis-3-Amino-4-methyl-1-pyrrolidinyl)-8-chloro-1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 8-chloro-1-cyclopropyl-6,7-difluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid (1.8 g), anhydrous acetonitrile (18 ml), cis-3-t-butoxycarbonylamino-4-methylpyrrolidine (reference example 3; 1.81 g) and DBU (0.90 g) was refluxed for an hour. The resulting mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, the resulting residue was dissolved in chloroform and washed with 10% aqueous citric acid solution. The chloroform layer was further washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was dissolved in hot methanol (25 ml) and, after cooling, the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration. Then this precipitate was suspended in methanol (18 ml), to this solution was added concentrated hydrochloric acid (18 ml) dropwise and stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes. The reacting mixture was neutralized with concentrated aqueous ammonia, after cooling, the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with water, methanol and ether successively to give the title compound (1.67 g) as white powder, mp 240°-243° C. (decompd.).
