Te. Renau et al., THE SYNTHESIS OF 3-BROMO-2,4,5-TRIFLUOROBENZOIC ACID AND ITS CONVERSION TO 8-BROMOQUINOLONECARBOXYLIC ACIDS, Journal of heterocyclic chemistry, 33(4), 1996, pp. 1407-1411
A series of 8-bromo-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acids was prepared via
the berate ester, 8. The key intermediate in the synthesis of the fin
al products 10a-10d was 3-bromo-2,4,5-trifluorobenzoic acid (3), conve
niently prepared in two steps from the known oxazoline, 1. The prepara
tion of 10a-10d is a significant improvement of the literature procedu
re currently available for the synthesis of these compounds.
