Participants

Reaction Steps

7-Methyl-1-H-cinnolin-4-one (1.3 g, 8.1 mmol) is treated with about 80 mL of chlorobenzene and heated until the solid dissolves. The resulting solution is cooled and treated with pyridine (0.16 mL, 2 mmol) and POCl3 (1.13 mL, 12.2 mmol). The solution is heated to reflux for 1 h then concentrated to dryness. The residue is chromatographed (20% ethyl acetate/hexane) to yield the title compound as a tan solid (˜1 g, 5.6 mmol). MS m/z (M+=178); 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ9.3 (s, 1H), 8.35 (s, 1H), 8.1 (d, 1H), 7.7 (d, 1H), 2.68 (s, 3H).
