Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 4-(4-methoxypyridin-2-yl)-2-nitrocinnamic acid ethyl ester (659 mg) in acetic acid (11 ml) was added iron powder (673 mg), and the mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 2 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured into a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and filtered, and the filtrate was extracted with dichloromethane-methanol (5:1). The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in ethanol (5 ml). To the solution was added a solution of sodium methoxide in methanol (28%, 3 ml), and the mixture was refluxed for 2 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured into a saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure to give 7-(4-methoxypyridin-2-yl)-2-quinolone (140 mg).
