PROCESS FOR AND INTERMEDIATES OF LEUKOTRIENE ANTAGONISTS

摘要

A process for synthesizing a ß- ketoester of formula (VII) which comprises: (a) converting 3-methylbenzoic acid into alkyl 3-methylbenzoate; (b) reacting 3 -methyl benzoate to form alkyl 3 -bromomethylbenzoate; (c)converting alkyl 3-bromo methyl benzoate into alkyl 3-formylbenzoate; (d) condensing alkyl 3-formyl benzoate with 7- Chioroquinaldine to give alkyl 3- [((7-Chloro-2-quinolinyl) ethenyl)]benzoate; (e) hydrolyzing alkyl 3 -[((7-Chloro-2-quinolinyl)ethenyl) benzoate to give 3-[((7- Chloro- 2-quinolinyl)ethenyl)]benzoic acid; and (f) reacting 3-[((7-Chloro-2-quinolinyI) ethenyjbenzoic acid with a malonate to obtain a compound of structural formula VII.
