Reaction Steps

Methyl 1-ethyl-6-(4-methoxy-2-methylphenylamino)-8-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinolone-3-carboxylate (30 mg) was dissolved in 5 ml of dioxane, 2.5 equivalents of a 1 N NaOH solution were added, and the mixture was heated at 60° C. for 4 h. Removal of the solvent in vacuo was followed by chromatography on an HPLC system to purify the product. This entailed use of a Merck Purospher-RP18 column and an acetonitrile:water mixture as eluent; the initial acetonitrile content was 15% and rose to 95% over the course of 20 minutes.
