Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.70 g (10.0 mmole) of 7-chloro-1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid, 60 ml of β-picoline and 3.85 g (30.0 mmole) of N-ethyl-3-pyrrolidinemethanamine were refluxed overnight. Reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, 100 ml concentrated ammonium hydroxide added, and the solvents removed at reduced pressure. A solution of 200 ml dichloromethane/ether (1:3) was added. The resulting precipitate was filtered, washed with ethanol/ether (1:3) and finally with ether until dry to give 1.87 g of 1-ethyl-7-[3-[(ethylamino)methyl]-1-pyrrolidinyl]-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid, mp 248°-252° C.
