O-Protection of 6-hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid (I) with Ac2O in the presence of H2SO4 at reflux affords 6-acetoxy-1-naphthoic acid (II), which then is condensed with methylamine hydrochloride (III) in the presence of EDC, HOBt and DIEA in CH2Cl2 to give 6-acetoxy-N-methyl-1-naphthamide (IV). Hydrolysis of acetate (IV) with KOH in MeOH provides 6-hydroxy-N-methyl-1-naphthamide (V). Condensation of naphthamide (V) with the aryl chloride (VI)—obtained by chlorination of 7-benzyloxy-6-methoxyquinolin-4-ol (VII) with POCl3 in CH2Cl2 using DMAP in refluxing dioxane yields the diaryl ether (VIII), whose benzyl group is reductively cleaved using HCOONH4 over Pd/C in refluxing EtOH to produce the 7-hydroxyquinoline derivative (IX). Condensation of intermediate (IX) with the mesylate (X) —produced by activation of the primary alcohol (XI) using MsCl and DIEA in CH2Cl2 at 0 °C by means of Cs2CO3 in DMA at 100 °C gives compound (XII), which is finally deprotected by means of H2 over Pd/C in EtOH and treated with HCl in EtOAc . See Scheme 1 at the end of this article. Also, intermediate (VIII) can be prepared by condensation of 6-hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid (I) with 7-benzyloxy-6-methoxy-4-chloroquinoline (VI) using KOH in DMSO at 130 °C and subsequent coupling of the obtained adduct with methylamine hydrochloride (III) using EDC, HOBt and DIEA in CH2Cl2 .
