The mixture was diluted with water, and extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and distilled to remove the solvent. The residue was purified by a column chromatography on silica gel to give 4-(2-chlorophenyl)-6,8-dimethyl-3-nitroquinoline as crystals, which was recrystallized from a mixture of methanol and chloroform. m.p. 130°-131° C. Yield 1.95 g (54.2 %).
