2,4-Dichloroaniline → 4-(2,4-Dichloroanilino)-7-methoxybenzo[g]quinoline-3-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

According to the procedure of Example 14, a reaction mixture of 657.8 mg (4.06 mmol) of 2,4-dichloroaniline and 162.4 mg (4.06 mmol) of sodium hydride in 18 mL of anhydrous DMF is stirred at room temperature for 0.5 hour. To the mixture is added 494.0 mg (1.84 mmol) of 4-chloro-7-methoxybenzo[g]quinoline-3-carbonitrile. The resulting mixture is heated at 55° C. for 1 hour. After work up, 624.6 mg (86.2%) of 4-(2,4-dichloroanilino)-7-methoxybenzo[g]quinoline-3-carbonitrile is obtained as a yellow solid, mp 215-217° C.
