Procedure
The same compound is obtained by: (a) refluxing equimolar amounts of 1-carbethoxyformimidate and ethyl 2-aminoquinoline-3-carboxylate in ethanol for 3 hours. The reaction mixture is concentrated, the product collected by filtration and recrystallized from hot chloroform; or (b) refluxing equimolar amounts of 1-carbethoxyformamidine and 2-aminoquinoline-3-carboxamide in ethanol for 3-4 hours in the presence of an equimolar amount of sodium ethoxide. The reaction mixture is worked up as described in (a) above.
