Water (180 mL), followed by Oxone® (Dupont Specialty Chemicals) (170 g, 277 mmol), is added to a suspension of 1 in MeOH (510 mL). The reaction mixture is heated with stirring at 55-60 0C for 3 h. The reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature, diluted with water (40 mL), and stirred at 5 0C (ice bath) for 30 min. The resulting crystals are collected by filtration, washed with water (2 x 100 mL), and dried to afford 6 (13.8 g). This material was used in the next step without further purification, mp 177-178 0C. 1H NMR (DMF-^7): J0.62 (m, IH), 1.11 (m, 2H), 1.29 (m, IH), 1.32 (t, JH-H = 7.0 Hz, 3H), 3.76 (s, 3H), 4.18 (m, IH), 4.21 (d, JH-F = 2.0 Hz, 3H), 4.33 (q, JH-H = 7.0 Hz, 2H), 7.64 (dd, JH-F = 10.0 Hz, 8.5 Hz, IH).

A mixture containing compound (6) (3.88 g, 9.67 mmol), compound 10 (1.64 g, 12.8 mmol), anhydrous DIEA (5.05 g, 39.1 mmol, dried over 4A sieves), and anhydrous DMF (40 mL) is heated at 70 0C under an atmosphere of argon gas. After heating for 4.5 h (LC-MS analysis shows ~7% compound (6) remained), the reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature, diluted with EtOAc (200 mL), and washed with water (100 mL). The aqueous layer is extracted with EtOAc (100 mL), and the combined organic layers are washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate (100 mL). The organic layer is diluted with water (100 mL) and treated with an aqueous solution of HCl (4 N) until the aqueous layer is acidic (pH 2—3 after shaking the mixture vigorously). The organic layer is separated, and this process is repeated. The combined aqueous layers are diluted with EtOAc (100 mL) and treated with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (6 N) until the aqueous layer is basic (pH ~8 after shaking the mixture vigorously). The aqueous layer is separated, and this process is repeated. The combined organic layers are dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure giving an orange solid (3.27 g of an~80:20 mixture of compound (7) and impurity B). This solid is recrystallized from hot EtOAc (~60 mL) furnishing 2.18 g (44% yield) of pure compound 7 as a bright yellow solid. LC-MS mlz calcd for C24H32FN3O6S 509 ([M+]); found 510 ([M + H]+).
This reaction should not be allowed to proceed for more than a few hours (not overnight) as prolonged reaction time can lead to the formation of more side products. The product should be —95% pure (based on HPLC), with only a trace amount of impurity B. Step 3.

Compound 7 (1.04 g, 2.04 mmol) is partially dissolved in DME (40 mL) under an atmosphere of argon. Sodium hydrosulfide hydrate (Aldrich, 72.6% by titration, 465 mg, 6.02 mmol) in water (3.0 mL) is added to this solution. The resulting mixture is sparged slowly with argon for 30 min.
The progress of the reaction is monitored by HPLC-MS, and judged to be complete (<2% of 7 remains) after 11.5 h. Excess sodium hydrosulfide is quenched upon addition of aq HCl (4.5 mL, 4 N).
The resulting orange solution (pH ~2) is sparged with argon (30 min) to remove the generated hydrogen sulfide. Step. 4 (R)- 7-[3-(l-amino-l-methyl-ethyl)-pyrrolidin-l-yl]-9-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-8-methoxy- 9H-isothiazolo[5, 4-b] -quinoline-3, 4-dione (5)

A solution of potassium carbonate (4.26 g, 30.8 mmol) in water (25 mL) is next added to this solution to give a clear yellow solution (pH 9-10). The clear yellow solution is then sparged with argon for ~5 min. Finally, hydroxylamine-0-sulfonic acid (0.93 g, 8.2 mmol) is added portionwise as a solid, with immediate evolution of gas and formation of the product as a yellow precipitate. After stirring for 16 h, the reaction mixture (pH 10.2) is acidified with aq HCl to pH 8.3 (the approximate isoelectric point of 5) causing additional product to precipitate from solution. The reaction mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure (final volume -40 mL). The yellow precipitate is collected by centrifugation, washed with water (3 x 40 mL, with sonication), and lyophilized to give 0.80 g of 5.

The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for ~3 h and quenched by addition of an aqueous solution of 5% hydrochloric acid (100 mL). The precipitate that formed is collected by filtration, washed with water (3 x 5 mL), and dried in vacuo to give 3 as a white solid. This product is of sufficient purity (>95% by 1H NMR spectroscopy) to use directly in the final amine-coupling step. 1HNMR (300 MHz, DMSO-J6): Jl.12 (m, 4H, cyclopropyl CH2), 3.85 (m, IH, cyclopropyl CH), 4.01 (d, JH-F= 1.5 Hz, 3H, OCH3), 7.85 (dd, JH_F = 11.0 Hz, 9.0 Hz, IH, aromatic). 19F(1H) NMR (282 MHz, DMSO-J6): £-146.4 (d, JF_F = 23.0 Hz, IF), -140.2 (d, JFF = 23.0 Hz, IF). LCMS mlz calcd for C14H10F2N2O3S 324 ([M*]); found 325 ([M + H]+).
