To a solution of sodium hydride (5.5 g, 137.50 mmol, 60percent) in N,N-dimethylformamide (150 ml) was added quinolin-7-ol (8 g, 55.1 1 mmol). The reaction was stirred for 1 h at 0°C in a water/ice bath. Then CH3I (7.84 g, 55.23 mmol) was added and the solution was stirred for an additional 1 h at room temperature. The reaction was then quenched by the addition of water/ice (700 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x 200 ml). The organic layers were combined, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to give a residue, which was purified by a silica gel column with 6 percent ethyl acetate in petroleum ether to afford 7-methoxyquinoline as a red oil (5.5 g, 63percent).LC/MS (ES, m/z): [M+H]+ 160.0'H-NMR (300 MHz, CDC13): delta 8.84 - 8.86 (m, 1H), 8.07 - 8.11 (m, 1H), 7.70 - 7.73 (t, / = 5.1 Hz, 1H), 7.44 (d, / = 2.4 Hz, 1H), 7.20 - 7.30 (m, 2H), 3.95 (s, 3H) Attorney Docket No. BIOE0009-401-PC |

To a solution of quinolin-7-ol (5 g, 34.44 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (22.46 g, 68.89 mmol) in DMF (50 mL) was added iodomethane (2.1 mL, 34.44 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 20 °C for12 b under a nitrogen atmosphere. Water (100 mL) was added and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (5OmL x 3). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (100 mE x 3), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The cmde residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (petroleum ether EtOAc = 10: 1) to give the title compound (2.0 g, 25percent) as a yellow oil. |

A suspension of NaH (16.1 g, 402 mmol) in anhydrousDMF (300 mL) was cooled to 0 °C with stirring under argon, compound 2-1 (20.0 g, 134 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (200 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred at 0 °C under argon for 1 hr. The mixture was then allowed to warm to rt and Mel (22.8 g, 161 mmol) was added. After stirring at rt for 1 hr, the reaction was quenched by adding ice water (3000 mL). The resulting mixture was extracted with EtOAc (500 mL x 3) and the combined organic extracts were washed with water and brine and dried with anhydrous MgSC^. The solvent was removed and the residue was dried in vacuo to give crude compound 2-2 (12.5 g, 65percent yield) as a brown oil. LC-MS (ESI): mlz 160 [M+H]+. |
