Procedure

6-Methyl-(1H)-quinolin-4-one (1.57 g, 9.7 mmol) in 20 mL phosphorus oxychloride is heated to 110° C. for 4 hours. The mixture is cooled to room temperature then diluted with ice water (˜200 mL) and the pH is adjusted to ca. 10 by the slow addition of 10 N NaOH. The aqueous solution is extracted with methylene chloride (4×250 mL) and the combined organic layers washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude residue is filtered through silica gel with 33% EtOAc/hexanes to give the product (1.05 g, 5.9 mmol) as a yellow solid.
