The mixture was stirred for 1.5 hours, and the excess phosphoryl chloride was removed at 20.degree. C. (20 mmHg). The oily product thus formed was left under high vacuum for 30 minutes to remove the remaining phosphoryl chloride, and the residue was dissolved in ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (5 ml). The solution was cooled in an ice bath, and sodium boron hydride was added thereto with vigorously stirring. The mixture was stirred for one hour at room temperature, and 1N hydrochloric acid (1 ml) was dropwise added thereto. The solvent was removed by distillation, and water (3 ml) was added to the residue. The precipitates formed were taken out by filtration and dissolved in ethyl acetate, and the solution was purified by a previously prepared thin layer chromatography (using ethyl acetate as a developer) to obtain ethyl 4,5-difluoro-2,3-dihydro-1 -methyl-7-oxo-1H, 7H-pyrido[3,2,1-i, j]cinnoline-8-carboxylic acid (10.0 mg).
