Participants

Reaction Steps

8.2 ml of 1N sodium hydroxide solution are added dropwise, under a stream of nitrogen and at a temperature in the region of 20° C., to a suspension of 1 g of ethyl 9-(N-methylaminocarbonylmethyl)-4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-10H-imidazo[1,2-a]indeno[1,2-e]pyrazin-2-carboxylate in a dioxane distilled water (100/27 by volume) mixture. The reaction is continued for 2 hours at the same temperature. The light-grey insoluble material is filtered, washed with acetone and then taken up in 15 ml of distilled water. This aqueous solution is filtered and then acidified to pH 1 with N hydrochloric acid. The precipitate formed is filtered and washed with water, with acetone and then with ethyl ether to result in 0.59 g of the trihydrate of 9-(N-methylaminocarbonylmethyl)-4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-10H-imidazo[1,2-a]indeno[1,2-e]pyrazin-2-carboxylic acid in the form of a white powder, the melting point of which is greater than 260° C.
