[NH2:1][C:2]1[C:11]([N+:12]([O-])=O)=[CH:10][C:9]2[C:4](=[C:5]([CH3:15])[CH:6]=[CH:7][CH:8]=2)[N:3]=1>CO.O1CCCC1.[Pd]>[NH2:1][C:2]1[C:11]([NH2:12])=[CH:10][C:9]2[C:4](=[C:5]([CH3:15])[CH:6]=[CH:7][CH:8]=2)[N:3]=10.4 g of palladium on active carbon (5% Pd) is added to a solution of 1.1 g of 2-amino-3-nitro-8-methylquinoline (compound B1) in 50 ml of methanol/tetrahydrofurane 1:1 and the resulting suspension is hydrated for 1 h. The catalyst is filtered off and the filtrate is evaporated in vacuo. The residue is chromatographed on silica gel using dichloromethane/methanol 10:1 to give 0.79 g of the title compound as colourless solid.
