Acetic Acid → HCID 16723510, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetyl chloride (0.7 mL, 9.8 mmol), acetic acid (1 mL), and ethylhydrazine (1.5 g, 9.8 mmol) were added sequentially to a suspension of methyl (1H-indol-3-yl)glyoxalate (1.0 g, 4.9 mmol) in ethanol (25 mL). The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was combined with acetonitrile. A pink solid was isolated by filtration and then purified by automated flash chromatography (Biotage, eluted with a gradient of 0-30% CMA in chloroform) to provide a white solid. This material was recrystallized from acetonitrile to provide 360 mg of 2-ethyl-2,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]quinolin-4-one as white crystals, mp>250° C. MS (APCI) m/z 214 (M+H)+; Anal. calcd for C12H11N3O: C, 67.59; H, 5.20; N, 19.71. Found: C, 67.52; H, 5.14; N, 19.90.
