Reaction Steps

A mixture of 9-fluoro-6,7-dihydro-5-methyl-8-(1-piperazinyl)-1-oxo-1H,5H-benzo[ij]quinolizine-2-carboxylic acid (Compound [III]), hydrochloride (1.1 g), p-nitrobenzyl bromide (Compound [IV]) (1.87 g) and triethylamine (1.46 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (50 ml) was heated with stirring at 80°-90° C. for 10 hr. After evaporation of the solvent, water was added to the residue, and the aqueous mixture was extracted with chloroform. The chloroform layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness. The residue was recrystallized from a mixture of N,N-dimethylformamide and ethanol (2:1) to give 0.83 g (yield: 60%) of 8-[4-(4-nitrobenzyl)-1-piperazinyl]-9-fluoro-6,7-dihydro-5-methyl-1-oxo-1H, 5H-benzo[ij]quinolizine-2-carboxylic acid (Compound [II]) as pale yellow needles, m.p. 230°-233° C. (decompd.).
