Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 0.59 g (1.54 mmol) ethyl 7-bromoacetyl-1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylate in 4 ml N,N-dimethylformamide was treated with 0.22 g (1.67 mmol) acetamidothioacetamide [prepared according to J. Am. Chem. Soc. 51, 1817 (1929)]. After stirring three hours the mixture was treated with 0.22 ml (1.58 mmol) triethylamine, stirred one hour more and poured into 40 ml ice water. The precipitate was filtered, washed with water and dried to afford 0.45 g crude solid. Chromatography on a column of 20 g silica gel with chloroform-methanol (9:1) and crystallization from ethanol gave 0.37 g ethyl 7-[2(acetamidomethyl)-4-thiazolyl]-1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylate, mp 230°-233° C. (dec).
