Participants

Reaction Steps

7 g (30 mmol) of 7-chloro-2-hydroxy-3-methylimidazo[4,5-h]quinoline are mixed with 7 g (33.6 mmol) of phosphorus pentachloride and 35 ml (0.38 mol) of phosphorus oxytrichloride. The mixture is refluxed for 15 h, then allowed to cool to room temperature and poured into 500 g of ice, the mixture is neutralized with concentrated sodium hydroxide solution, and the precipitate is filtered off with suction. Drying and recrystallization from ethanol result in 2.8 g (37%) of product; melting point 211° to 213° C.
