Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of give 8-(benzyloxy)-2-methylquinolin-4-ol (2.34 g, 8.83 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.83 g, 13.2 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (50 mL) was added ethyl bromoacetate (1.77 g, 10.6 mmol) with stirring under nitrogen. The mixture was heated at 80° C. for 1 h, cooled, mixed with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and extracted with EtOAc. Evaporation gave a crude product that was dissolved in dichloromethane and precipitated by the addition of a mixture of Hex/EtOAc (10/1). The precipitate was filtered and dried to give ethyl 2-((8-(benzyloxy)-2-methylquinolin-4-yl)oxy)acetate (2.13 g, 69%). A mixture of ethyl 2-((8-(benzyloxy)-2-methylquinolin-4-yl)oxy)acetate (0.70 g, 1.99 mmol), Pd/C (10%, 0.07 g) in EtOH/dioxane (20 mL/20 mL) was placed under hydrogen atmosphere with stirring overnight. The mixture was filtered and evaporated to give ethyl 2-((8-hydroxy-2-methylquinolin-4-yl)oxy)acetate (0.24 g, 46%).
