Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1 g (2.38 mmol) of 7-(2-chloro-ethoxy)-4-(3-hydroxy-4-methyl-phenylamino)-6-methoxy-quinoline-3-carbonitrile and 0.078 g of sodium iodide in 19.5 ml of 2M dimethylamine in tetrahydrofuran was placed in a sealed tube and heated to 125° C. for 14 hr. The solvent was removed and the residue was mixed with warm ethyl acetate and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic layer was separated and dried over magnesium sulfate. Solvent was removed and the residue was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate-methanol-triethylamine 70:30:2.5 giving 0.89 g of the tide compound as a light yellow solid: mass spectrum (electrospray, m/e) M+H 393.0; (M+2H)+2 196.9.
