Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 7-iodo-6-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (8.30 g, 23.2 mmol) in 2 M aq. sodium hydroxide solution (80 mL) was heated at reflux for 2 h. After cooling the solution obtained was acidified with 25% aq. hydrochloric acid solution. The precipitate was collected by filtration and dried to afford the title compound (7.56 g, 99%). White solid, ISN-MS: m/e=327.9 ([M−H]−).
