When the addition was completed, the mixture was stirred a further 70 minutes at 90° C. and then poured into an ice-water mixture (700 ml.). The mixture was adjusted to pH 1 with hydrochloric acid, and then filtered. The filtrate was adjusted to pH 6 with ammonium hydroxide solution, and the resulting mixture filtered. The solid residue (13 g.) was dissolved as far as possible in 2 N-sodium hydroxide solution, and the mixture was filtered. The filtrate was adjusted to pH 6 with glacial acetic acid, and the precipitated solid was filtered off, stirred with hot water (85° C., 200 ml.) and filtered while hot to give 6-amino-1-(4-chlorobenzyl)-1,2-dihydro-2-oxoquinol-4-ylacetic acid, m.p. 196°-9° C., (decomposition) in 52% yield.
