HCID 20187472Methyl 4-chlorocinnoline-3-carboxylate

Procedure

Thionyl chloride (8.15 g, 5 ml) was added dropwise under inert atmosphere to methyl 4-hydroxycinnoline-3-carboxylate (0.50 g, 2.45 mmol). The mixture was heated to reflux for 1.5 h, cooled to room temperature and excess thionyl chloride was removed under vacuum. Toluene (5 ml) was added to the residue. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solids were collected by filtration and dried under vacuum. The title compound was isolated as a brown solid (248 mg, 1.11 mmol, 45%). LCMS: m/z 223 [M+H]+.
