Sodium Hydroxide → 1-Isopropyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.55 g of ethyl 1-isopropyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3-quinolinecarboxylate and 0.28 g of sodium hydroxide in 10 ml of ethanol and 2 ml of water was stirred overnight at room temperature. The solvent was distilled off and dil. hydrochloric acid was added to the residue.
