Participants

Reaction Steps

14.4 Grams of 3,4-dihydrocarbostyril and 10 g of γ-butyrolacton were mixed into 120 g of polyphosphoric acid and stirred at 80°-90° C. for 10 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into 300 ml of ice-water and was allowed to stand overnight. Then the precipitates thus formed were collected by filtration and washed with water, then recrystallized from ethanol-ethyl acetate to obtain 9.5 g of 6-(4-hydroxy-1-oxobutyl)-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril, having the melting point of 175°-176° C. in colorless prism-like crystals. Next, 5 g of 6-(4-hydroxy-1-oxobutyl)-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril and 0.5 g of palladium black were mixed in 160 ml of ethanol and the mixture was subjected to catalytic reduction under 3 kg/cm2 of hydrogen gas at 60° C. for 6 hours. The reaction mixture was then cool and was added 1 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid thereinto. Further the reaction mixture was subjected to the catalytic reduction under 3 kg/cm2 of hydrogen gas for 6 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and the mother liquor was concentrated under a reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from ligroin to obtain 3.2 g of 6-(4-hydroxybutyl)-3,4-dihydrocarboxtryril, having the melting point of 133°-134° C. Next, 3.2 g of 6-(4-hydroxybutyl)-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril and 5 ml of thionyl chloride were mixed into 50 ml of chloroform and the mixture was stirred at a room temperature for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under a reduced pressure. The residue was then recrystallized from ligroin to obtain 1.8 g of 6 -(4-chlorobutyl)-3,4-dihydrocarbostryl, having the melting point of 119°-121° C., in colorless prism-like crystals.
