Reaction Steps

To trifluoro-methanesulfonic acid 9-benzhydryloxy-7-(4-fluoro-benzyl)-8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-6H-pyrrolo[3,4-g]quinolin-5-yl ester 46 (1.48 g, 2.39 mmol) and 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (DPPP) (295 mg, 0.7 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) and water (1 mL) in a two-necked round bottom flask were added Pd(OAc)2 (107 mg, 0.48 mmol). The solution was degassed under high vacuum and flushed with carbon monoxide from a balloon. The flushing was repeated five times. TEA (0.733 mL, 3.26 mmol) was introduced. The mixture was heated under CO atmosphere for 2.5 hours and cooled down to the room temperature. MeI (0.74 mL, 12 mmol) and Cs2CO3 were added and stirring was continued under a nitrogen atmosphere for 45 minutes. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc (300 mL), washed with water, 1N aqueous HCl and brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The crude product was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column eluting with 15% to 35% of EtOAc in hexane to afford 9-benzhydryloxy-7-(4-fluoro-benzyl)-8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-6H-pyrrolo[3,4-g]quinoline-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester 212, (0.9 g, 1.69 mmol, 70%) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3): 89.25 (d, 1H), 9.05 (m, 1H), 7.80 (d, 4H), 7.56 (dd, 1H), 7.0-7.4 (m, 11H), 4.85 (s, 2H), 4.55 (s, 2H), 3.95 (s, 3H); MS: 555 (M+Na).
