Reaction Steps

1-Hydrazono-1,3-dihydro-pyrrolo[3,2-f]quinoline-2-one (1.07 g, 5.05 mmol) was combined with 6.0 mL of anhydrous hydrazine and 5.0 mL of water in a 100 mL flask (oversize to allow for foaming) and heated at reflux (145° C. oil bath) under a condenser and nitrogen atmosphere, with stirring. After 4.5 hr, analytical HPLC showed that all of the hydrazone had been consumed. The reaction was cooled, diluted with 75 mL of water, and filtered to give 0.45 g (air dried) of 6-aminoquinoline-5-carboxylic acid hydrazide as an olive brown solid. Mass spectrum (negative ion electrospray): m/z=215 (100%). NMR (DMSO-d6): δ3.64 (s, 2H), 4.22 (s, 2H), 5.66 (s, 2H), 7.25 (d, 1H, J=9.1 Hz), 7.34 (m, 1H), 7.65 (d, 1H, J=9 Hz), 8.34 (d, 1H, J=8.5 Hz), 8.50 (s, 1H), 9.27 (s, 1H).
