Reaction Steps

The intermediates, 5-alkylamino-2-aminoacetophenones (60-62) were prepared according to the methods reported before. As shown in Scheme 6, the starting 3-chloroacetophenone (54) was first nitrated with HNO3/H2SO4 to form the 5-chloro-2-nitroacetophenone (55) and 5-chloro-4-nitroacetophenone (56). Compound 55 was reacted separately with various alkylamines to yield the corresponding 5-alkylamino-2-nitroacetophenones (57-59). Catalytic hydrogenation of compounds 57-59 yielded the corresponding 5-alkylamino-2-aminoacetophenones (60-62). L. Ll, K. K. Wang, S. C. Kuo, T. S. Wu, D. Lednicer, C. M. Lin, E. Hamel and K. H.
