Chloroform → 4-amino-6,7-dimethoxy-2-[4-(N-phenylcarbamoyl)piperazin-1-yl]quinoline dihydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Phenylisocyanate (1.1 g) was added to a stirred suspension of 4-amino-6,7-dimethoxy-2-(piperazin-1-yl)quinoline (0.72 g) in chloroform (25 ml) a room temperature and the reaction mixture was stirred for 4 hours. The mixture was evaporated in vacuo, the residue taken up in methanol-chloroform and treated with ethereal hydrogen chloride. The crude product was purified by chromatography on silica gel eluting with methylene chloride followed by chloroform/methanol and then recrystallised from methanol/ether to give 4-amino-6,7-dimethoxy-2-[4-(N-phenylcarbamoyl)piperazin-1-yl]quinoline dihydrochloride (0.18 g), m.p. 235°.
