Chlorotrimethylsilane → 7-[[2-(Acetylamino)-1-oxopropyl]-amino]-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3.93 g (30 mmol) of N-acetyl-L-alanine, 3.30 ml (30 mmol) of N-methyl morpholine, 2.33 ml (30 mmol) of methyl chloroformate, and 80 ml of acetonitrile is stirred at -10° to -20° for 30 minutes. A mixture of 4.08 g (20 mmol) of 7-amino-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid, 8.4 ml (60 mmol) of triethylamine, 7.6 ml (60 mmol) of chlorotrimethylsilane, and 100 ml of dichloromethane is stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes and then cooled to -20°. The cold mixed anhydride is added to the cold silylated quinoline and stirred with cooling for 3 hours and overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture is evaporated to dryness and the residue is treated with water. The solid is filtered to give 3.98 g of 7-[[2-(acetylamino)-1-oxopropyl]-amino]-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid.
