Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-(5-fluoro-2-methylphenyl)-4-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolin-5-one (1.1 g) and aminoguanidine hydrochloride (0.54 g) in ethanol (30 ml) were added concentrated hydrochloric acid (1.0 ml) and water (1.0 ml), and the mixture was refluxed for 6 hours. Under reduced pressure, the solvent was evaporated, and the residue was dissolved in water. The mixture was washed with ethyl acetate, and to the aqueous layer was added sodium hydrogen carbonate solution to make it alkaline. The solution was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, dried with magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in ethanol, and to the mixture was added 1N hydrochloric acid (10 ml). The mixture was concentrated, and precipitated crystals were recrystallized from ethanol to give 7-(5-fluoro-2-methylphenyl)-5-guanidinoimino-4-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline hydrochloride (Compound 165) (1.4 g) as colorless crystals.
