Abstract
5-Fluoro-6-methoxy-8-nitroquinoline was synthesised by a modified Skraup Reaction and was subsequently converted into 5-fluoroprimaquine in three steps. 5-Fluoroprimaquine 9 is less susceptible to in vitro bioactivation than primaquine 1 in a range of different species. However, significant bioactivation of 9 was observed with hepatic microsomes from two species including man.
