Reaction Steps

To ethyl 6-(9-oxoacridin-10(9H)-yl)hexanoate (0.80 g) was added acetic acid (9 ml) and 2M hydrochloric acid (2.5 ml). The mixture was heated to 100° C. for 18 hours after which time the volatile components were removed on a rotary evaporator. Diethyl ether was added (25 ml) and the mixture stirred for 15 minutes. The resulting material was filtered off and air dried to give 0.36 g final product (Formula XVII). Mass spectrum: 310 (M+H).
