Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 0.81 g (3.0 mmole) of 1-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-6,7,8-trifluoro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid, 1.28 g (10 mmole) of 3-acetylamminopyrrolidine [U.S. Pat. No. 4,341,784] and 1.5 g (15 mmole) of triethylamine in 50 ml of acetonitrile was refluxed for four hours. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was dissolved in 50 ml of 6.0 M hydrochloric acid/ethanol (1:1). The mixture was refluxed for four hours and the ethanol was removed in vacuo. The residue was diluted to 100 ml with water and adjusted to pH 7.3 with 1.0 N sodium hydroxide. After cooling to 5° C., the precipitate was removed by filtration, washed successively with water, ethanol, ether, and dried in vacuo to give 0.6 g of 7-(3-amino-1-pyrrolidinyl)-1-ethyl-6,8-difluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid, mp 240°-242° C.
