Reaction Steps

0.5 g (1.85 mmol) of 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-7-chloro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid (II, R1 : ethyl; X: chloro) and 1.07 g (0.50 mmol) of 4-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)-1-methyl piperazine (III, R2, R3 and R4 : methyl; R5 : t-butyl) are added to 100 ml of acetonitrile and then heated with stirring. A solution of 1.60 g (0.50 mmol) of tetrabutyl ammonium fluoride trihydrate in 5 ml of acetonitrile is added dropwise to the reaction mixture. After heating with stirring for 3 hours,the solvent is stripped off and water is added thereto to give a solid. After filtering and drying, 0.52 g (85% yield) of a solid compound is afforded.
