Example 1

Step A: 1-(4-(3-Chloropropoxy)-3-methoxy)acetophenone (III)

(4) 1-(4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethanone (600 g, 3.61 mol, Purchased from Zhejiang Dongdong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) and anhydrous potassium carbonate (698 g, 5.055 mol) was added to 2500 mL of dry N,N-dimethylformamide. The mixture was stirred for 30 min at room temperature and then 1-bromo-3-chloropropane (795.9 g, 1.4 mol) was drop-wise added while maintaining the temperature below 25° C. Then the resulted mixture was kept at 25° C. for 10 h. After completion of the reaction, the precipitate was filtered and the filter cake was washed by a small amount of N,N-dimethylformamide. The filtrate was poured into ice-water slowly with vigorous stirring. Then the resulted mixture was stirred for 30 min. The precipitate was filtered, washed with water, and dried to give 827.2 g as white solid. Yield: 93.8%.

Step B: 1-(4-(3-chloropropoxy)-5-methoxy-2-nitrophenyl)ethanone (N)

(5) To a solution of intermediate III (200 g, 0.82 mol) in dichloromethane (1000 mL), fuming nitric acid (130 g, 2.06 mol) was added drop-wise at a rate to maintain the reaction temperature at −10˜-20° C. Upon the completion of addition, the mixture was stirred for 2 h at −10˜-20° C. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was poured slowly into ice water, and the organic layer was separated and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution until the aqueous layer became neutral, then dried with anhydrous sodium sulphate. The solution was evaporated to give 210.0 g yellow solid. Yield: 89.0%.

Step C: (E)-1-(4-(3-chloropropoxy)-5-methoxy-2-nitrophenyl)-3-(dimethylamino)prop-2-en-1-one (V)

(6) To 1000 mL of toluene were added 0.695 mol (200 g) of intermediate N and the mixture was heated to 110° C. to make intermediate N completely dissolved. Then 3.476 mol (414.2 g) of N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMF-DMA) was added, and the reaction was heated to reflux for 16 h. After completion of the reaction, the resulting precipitate from the cooled reaction (−10° C.) mixture was filtered to obtain the target compound as a yellow powder (180.0 g). Yield: 75.8%.

Step D: 7-(3-chloropropoxy)-6-methoxyquinolin-4(1H)-one (VI)

(7) 0.44 mol (150 g) of intermediate V was dissolved in 1200 mL of glacial acetic acid, and the mixture was heated to 40° C.

After the addition was completed, the mixture was warmed to room temperature for another 3 h, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in CH.sub.2Cl.sub.2 (500 mL), and washed with water (3×100 mL), dried over anhydrous Na.sub.2SO.sub.4, concentrated under reduced pressure to afford corresponding phenylcarbamates 45.1 g, Yield: 91.9%.

c-Met Kinase Assay:
c-Met Kinase Activity was Measured with an ELISA Reader. The Specific Operation as Follows:

(106) To the plate filled with 0.25 mg/mL PGT, the compounds, 50 pM c-Met (His-tagged recombinant human Met (Amino acids 974-ends), by baculovirus expression) and 5 μM ATP in buffer solution (25 mM MOPS, pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.5 raM MnCl.sub.2, 100 μM sodium orthovanadate, 0.01% Triton X-100, 1 mM DTT, 1% of DMSO1% (v/v)) was added, the solution was incubated for 20 min. The reaction mixture was removed by washing with 0.2 μg/mL conjugated horseradish peroxidase (HRP) monoclonal antibody specific for phosphotyrosine (PY20) detecting phosphorylation of the substrate polymer. 1M phosphoric acid was added to terminate the color, the chromogenic substrate (TMB) was tested by spectrophotometry at 450 nm. The c-Met kinase inhibition data was illustrated in Table 2.

Example 73: Suppository

(114) 10 g compound (e.g., the compound of Example 19) containing the compound of claim 1 was grinded and a suitable amount of glycerol was added and mixed homogeneously. Then melt glycerol gelatin was added and grinded homogeneously, and the mixture was poured into a mold coated with lubricant to produce 50 suppository particles.

After filtration on an 80 mesh screen, the compound of Example 18 was added to the filtrate and dissolved therein by agitation. 100 films were produced by coater machine.

Example 75: Dripping Pill

(116) 10 g compound (e.g., the compound of Example 17) containing the compound of claim 1 was mixed homogeneously with 50 g substrate such as gelatin by heating and melting, then the mixture was dropped into a liquid paraffin at low temperature. 1000 pills of dripping pill were produced.

Example 76: Liniment for External Use

(117) 10 g compound (e.g., the compound of Example 31) containing the compound of claim 1 was mixed and ground with 2.5 g adjuvants such as emulsifier by conventional formulation methods, then 200 mL water was added to prepare the liniment for external use.

Example 77: Ointment

(118) 10 g compound (e.g., the compound of Example 47) containing the compound of claim 1 was ground and then mixed homogeneously with 500 g oleaginous base such as Vaseline.
