p-Ethoxycarbonylbenzoyl chloride → HCID 10407407, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

37.2 g of 6-amino-3,4-dihydro-1,4,4-trimethyl-2(1H)-quinolinone were dissolved in 600 ml of pyridine and treated dropwise at room temperature with a solution of 43 g of 4-ethoxycarbonylbenzoyl chloride in 80 ml of tetrahydrofuran. After stirring at room temperature for 20 hours, the reaction mixture was poured on to ice-water, extracted several times with ethyl acetate, the organic phase was washed with cold 2N hydrochloric acid and water, dried and evaporated. Chromatography of the crude product (silica gel, eluent hexane/ethyl acetate 2:1, then ethyl acetate) and recrystallization from ethyl acetate/hexane, yielded 45.5 g of ethyl p-[(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,4,4-trimethyl-2-oxo-6-quinolinyl)carbamoyl]-benzoate, m.p. 197°-199° C.
