Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In a 200-ml autoclave were placed 9.25 g (20 mmol) of 1-acetyl-3,4-dihydro-3-(3-pyridylmethylideneamino)-6-[1,2,2,2-tetrafluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl]-2(1H)-quinazolinone, 0.21 g (0.05 mmol) of 5% palladium-carbon (containing 50% water), 0.4 g (98%, 4 mmol) of concentrated sulfuric acid and 50 ml of dimethylformamide. They were heated to 60° C. with stirring and the reaction was carried out at a hydrogen pressure of 2 kg/cm2 until the hydrogen absorption rate decreased. After the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, the catalyst was removed by filtration. The filtrate was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. The result is shown in Table 1 below.
