Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2 grams of methyl 2-phenyl-4-quinolone-6-carboxylate (obtained in Example 1), 16 ml of methyl iodide, 2 grams of potassium carbonate and 50 ml of dimethyl formamide is stirred for four hours at 60° C. After cooling, the mixture is poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. From the extract ethylacetate is evaporated, the residue is purified by silica chromatography, and 1.8 grams of methyl 1-methyl-2-phenyl-4-quinolone-6-carboxylate, colorless powder, melting point 174° to 176° C., is obtained.
