PURPOSE: To smoothly obtain the subject compound useful as pharmaceuticals such as antithrombotic agent in an easily purifiable state in high yield by reacting 6-hydroxyquinolin-2-one with an allyl halide and subjecting the reactional product to rearrangement, acylation, oxidation, cyclization and removal of protecting group.
CONSTITUTION: The objective compound of formula VII is produced by carrying out dehydrohalogenation reaction of 6-hydroxyquinolin-2-one with an allyl halide of formula I (X is halogen), subjecting the obtained propenyloxyquinolin-2-one derivative of formula II to rearrangement reaction to obtain the compound of formula III, acylating the compound to form a compound of formula IV (R is acyl), oxidizing the product, cyclizing the produced compound of formula V to a compound of formula VI and finally removing the protecting group.
