A solution of 26 g (0.075 mol) of 3-cyclopropylamino-2- (2,4,5-trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoyl)acrylic acid ethyl ester and 110 ml of DMF was treated with 22 g (0.16 mol) of K2CO3, and then heated to 50 °C with stirring for 1 h. The resulting precipitate was filtered, washed with the mixture of ice and water, and dried to give 23 g of the title compound (yield 95%). Crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of a methanol solution.
All H atoms were placed geometrically (C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å) and refined as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The title compound, 1-cyclopropyl-6,7-difluoro-1,4-dihydro-8-methoxy-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester, is a key intermediate to synthesize a series of fluoroquinolones,such as moxifloxacin (Petersen et al., 1993), balofloxacin (Nagano et al., 1989) and gatifloxacin (Matsumoto et al., 1996). As part of our studies in this area, we report here the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, (I) (Fig. 1).
The benzene ring and its adjacent six-membered ring were almost coplanar. The dihedral angles between the three-membered ring and the benzene ring is 65.30 (14)°. In the crystal structure, intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds link the molecules, in which they are effective in the stabilization of the structure.
