Reaction Steps

Step 11B) To a solution of 500 g of Ph2O heated to 250° C. was added 108.7 g (392 mmol) of 5-[(3-Methoxyphenyl-amino)methylene]-2,2-dimethyl-[1,3]dioxane-4,6-dione in portions over a 30 min period. The mixture was heated an additional 15 min, cooled to rt, diluted with 800 mL of hexanes and the resulting slurry stirred overnite. The hexanes was decanted off, the solid residue dissolved in 600 mL of MeOH at reflux, cooled to rt and the resulting solid filtered and washed with minimal CH2Cl2. The analogous recrystallization procedure was followed to afford a total of 20.73 g (30%) of 7-methoxyquinolin-4-ol as a light brown solid. 1H NMR (methanol-d4) δ 3.87 (s, 3H), 6.23 d, J=7.3 Hz, 1H), 6.68 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 6.96 (dd, J=9.0, 2.4 Hz, 1H), 8.11 (d, J=9 Hz, 1H); LC-MS (retention time: 0.77, method D), MS m/z 176 (M++1).
