Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-amino-4,5,3',4'-tetramethoxybenzophenone (10.0 g), diethyl malonate (6.0 g) and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene (DBU)(0.396 g) was stirred at 180° C. for 10 minutes. After cooling, ethanol was added to the reaction mixture, and the crystals were collected by filtration to give ethyl 6,7-dimethoxy-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2(1H)-quinolone-3-carboxylate (12.0 g, 91%) which was then recrystallized from chloroform-acetone. mp. 273°-276° C.
