Participants

Reaction Steps

Under vigorous stirring, 7-iodo-6-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid (6.50 g, 19.8 mmol) was added portionwise to Dowtherm® A (120 mL) at 250° C., then the mixture was stirred for another 90 min. After cooling, heptane (170 mL) was added, and the precipitate was collected by filtration. The crude material was triturated in hexane/ethyl acetate (1:1) to afford the title compound (5.12 g, 91%). Off-white solid, ISP-MS: m/e=286.1 ([M+H]+).
