Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 1-(3-aminopropyl)-5-fluoro-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-8-propoxy-1H-quinolin-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

Hydrazine hydrate (0.62 ml, 12.8 mmol) was added to an ethanol solution (60 ml) of 2-{3-[5-fluoro-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-oxo-8-propoxy-4H-quinolin-1-yl]propyl}isoindole-1,3-dione (2.0 g, 3.88 mmol) and heated under reflux for 4 hours. The resulting mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, a 5N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added to the thus-obtained residue, and then the resulting mixture was subjected to extraction using dichloromethane. The thus-obtained organic layer was sequentially washed with water and an aqueous saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure, giving a yellow oily 1-(3-aminopropyl)-5-fluoro-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-8-propoxy-1H-quinolin-4-one (1.4 g, yield: 94%).
