Formaldehyde → HCID 21220222, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 0.50 ml of formic acid was suspended 50 mg of 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-7-(isoindolin-5-yl)-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid hydrobromide, and 27 mg of formalin was added to the suspension, after which the mixture was heated under reflux for two hours. The solvent was then removed by distillation under reduced pressure. To the residue obtained was added 5 ml of water and the pH was adjusted to 7 with a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution, after which the resulting mixture was extracted with five 5 ml portions of chloroform. The resulting chloroform layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then the solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. Ethanol was added to the residue obtained and the crystals formed were collected by filtration, to obtain 29 mg of pale yellow, crystalline 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-7-(2-methylisoindolin-5-yl)-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid.
