[Synthesis]
Under nitrogen protection, 2-benzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl-1H-quinolin-4-one (100 mg, 0.37 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL) and stirred at room temperature. Potassium carbonate (156 mg, 1.1 mmol) and iodomethane (80 mg, 0.56 mmol) were added sequentially, and the reaction mixture was heated to 80 °C and stirred for 5 hours. The reaction process was monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC). Upon completion of the reaction, the reaction was quenched with ice water and extracted with dichloromethane (315 mL). The organic phase was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude product. The crude product was purified by recrystallization from ethyl acetate to give an off-white solid (100 mg, 95% yield). Melting point: 188.6-191.4°C.
