ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a simple method for preparing a quinolinone derivative, which is effective as a medicine, e.g., as an agent for treating allergic diseases and the like; novel amide derivatives effective as an intermediate in said method; novel quinolinone derivatives obtained by means of said method; and an anti-allergic agent containing a quinolinone derivative and/or physiological salt of the same as the active ingredients.
2. Background Art
The inventors of the present invention have found that a quinolinone derivative having a substituent group at the 7-position and physiological salts thereof are effective against both immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions and delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions, being extremely useful as a drug with few side effects, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application, First Application No. Hei 09-100267 and Japanese Patent Application, First Application No. Hei 09-255659. A method for preparing such a quinolinone derivative was disclosed in both Japanese Patent Application, First Application No. Hei 09-100267 and Japanese Patent Application, First Application No. Hei 09-255659, as shown below.
However, in the preparation method disclosed in these documents, in particular, when preparing a compound having a substituent group at the 3-position, it was necessary to proceed along a complex reaction pathway involving the steps of introducing a protecting group, de-protecting, introducing a substituent group, and then de-protecting again. Thus, the method was not necessarily satisfactory for industrial application.
