Piperazine → 3-Quinolinecarboxylic acid, 1,4-dihydro-5-amino-1-cyclopropyl-6,8-difluoro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 1.0 g (3.35 mmole) of 5-amino-1-cyclopropyl-6,7,8-trifluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid, 1.15 g (13.4 mmole) of piperazine, 1.36 g (13.35 mmole) of triethylamine and 60 ml of acetonitrile is refluxed for three hours and then stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The precipitate is removed by filtration, washed with acetonitrile and dried in vacuo at 60° C. to give 5-amino-1-cyclopropyl-6,8-difluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid, mp 257°-259° C.
