Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (7-fluoro-quinolin-6-yl)-acetic acid tert-butyl ester (3.67 g) and 4N aquous sodium hydroxide (14.8 mL) were heated at 90° C. for 3 h. The solution was extracted with ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer was adjusted to acidic pH with acetic acid and filtered and dried to afford the title compound (2.3 g, 79.8%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 12.52 (1H, s), 8.88˜8.90 (d, 1H), 8.34˜8.38 (d, 1H), 7.97˜7.99 (d, 1H), 7.73˜7.76 (d, 1H), 7.50˜7.54 (m, 1H), 3.85 (s, 2H). ES-MS m/z: 206.2 (M+1).
