PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF QUINOLINE COMPOUNDS THAT ARE ANTI-MALARIAL DRUGS

摘要

The invention relates to novel intermediates and processes for the preparation of quinoline compounds useful as anti-malarial drugs and novel intermediates useful in the process. A process for the preparation of a compound of formula (I) in which R1 is C1-6 alkyl; R2 and R3 are independently hydrogen, halogen, trifluoromethyl or C1-6 alkoxy; R4 is C1-6 alkyl; R5 is hydrogen or C1-6 alkyl; and R6 or amino which comprises reacting a compound of formula (II) in which R1, R4 and R5 are as defined in formula (I) and X is a leading group with a compound of formula (III).
