Pyridine → 6-(4-acetoxypiperidino)-2(1H)-quinolinone

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-(4-hydroxypiperidino)carbostyril (0.25 g), acetic anhydride (0.4 g) and dry pyridine (4 mL) was heated at 100° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and water (about 35 mL) and sodium bicarbonate (0.6 g) were added. The mixture was chilled in ice and stirred. The resulting white solid was removed by filtration, washed with water and dried to give 6-(4-acetoxypiperidino)-2(1H)-quinolinone. 1/4 hydrate (0.3 g); m.p. 245°-250° C.
