Benzoyl Peroxide → HCID 14371424, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Benzyl-7-chloropyrrolo[1,2-b]cinnolin-10(5H)-one (4.5 g) was taken up in 50 ml of THF and a catalytic amount of dibenzoyl peroxide was added. N-chlorosuccinimide (1.95 g) was added portionwise over a period of 10 min. The flask was covered with aluminum foil and the mixture stirred at room temperature overnight under N2. The reaction mixture was concentrated and the residue taken up in chloroform and extracted with H2O and brine. The organic layer was then dried (MgSO4), charcoaled, filtered and concentrated to a green semisolid. This was purified by HPLC (silica, dichloromethane) to give a light green powder which was recrystallized from ethanol to yield 2.3 g of green crystals, mp 134°-136°.
