Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(4-Carboxyphenyl)-7-hydroxybenzo[e][1,2,4]triazine 1-oxide (Compound VII-1, 350 mg, 1.23 mmol) was dissolved in 70% ethanol in water (20 ml) at reflux. 5.0 equivalents of Na2S2O4 were added. The reaction turned dark brown. After 30 minutes, the solution was concentrated to remove ethanol and the solid was filtered and washed with water and dried (12 mg). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6 400 MHz): δ 8.67 (d, 2H), 8.16 (d, 2H), 8.09 (d, 1H), 7.77 (d, 1H), 7.67 (s, 1H). MS (ESI): m/z 268.43 [M+1]+.
