Reaction Steps

A mixture containing 3-(4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzyl)-6-bromo-2-ethylquinolin-4-ol (1.78 g, 4.36 mmol, Intermediate 32: step c) and phosphorus oxychloride (1.8 mL, 20 mmol) in acetonitrile (15 mL) was heated to 90° C. After 3 hours, the flask was allowed to cool to 23° C. The mixture was concentrated. Dichloromethane (100 mL) and ice (50 mL) were added to the residue. Concentrated aqueous ammonia solution was added dropwise with stirring until the pH was 9 by litmus paper test. The biphasic mixture was stirred at 23° C. for 30 minutes. The layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (25 mL). The organic layers were combined and the combined solution was dried with sodium sulfate. The dried solution was filtered. Celite® (8 g) was added to the filtrate and the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation to afford a free-flowing powder. The powder was loaded onto a column of silica gel for purification. Elution with hexanes initially, grading to 25% ethyl acetate-hexanes provided the title compound as an off-white solid.
