Procedure

The mixture of 1,2-dihydro-4-hydroxy-5-chloro-1-methyl-2-oxo-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid (1 gm) and toluene (50 ml) was cooled to 5-10° C. under nitrogen atmosphere. Pyridine (1.09 gm) was added to the resulting mass at 5-10° C. to form a clear solution. The solution was followed by the addition of N-ethyl aniline (0.52 gm) in one portion at 5-10° C. and then thionyl chloride (0.61 gm) was added at 5-10° C. The resulting mixture was stirred for 7 hours followed by evaporation of toluene under vacuum. The resulting residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (25 ml) followed by washings with 5% sodium hydroxide solution (6.5 ml) at 25-30° C. The resulting aqueous layer was cooled to 10-15° C. followed by adjusting pH of the mass to 1 by using 18% aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (2.5 ml). The resulting mass was stirred for 1 hour at 10-15° C. The separated white colored solid was filtered and dried at 55-60° C. to yield 0.9 gm of laquinimod (HPLC Purity: 97.3%).
