Procedure
A mixture of 5-chloro-7-amino-8-hydroxyquinoline (6 g, 30.8 mol) and methyl trimethoxyacetate (16.3 g, 123.2 mol) was heated at 100° C. overnight. The reaction was cooled in an ice bath and filtered. The precipitate was dissolved in acetone (250 ml). The resulting solution was treated with charcoal at reflux, filtered through a pad of silica gel and celite and partially concentrated. Crystals formed which were filtered and dried giving 4.1 g (51% yield) of solid. M.P. 217°-218° C.
