Trifluoroacetic acid → HCID 23346099, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of 7.0 g (0.02 mole) of 1,2-dihydro-8-[2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxy-1-(trifluoromethyl)-ethyl]-6-methyl-4H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-4-one and 70 ml of trifluoroacetic acid is added 4.2 g (0.042 mole) of potassium nitrate. The mixture is stirred for 16 hours at room temperature and then is refluxed for 30 minutes. The mixture is poured into 300 ml of water. The solid is filtered off, washed with water, and dried. Recrystallization from 250 ml of acetonitrile gives 3.3 g (42%) of 1,2-dihydro-8-[2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxy-1-(trifluoromethyl)-ethyl]-6-methyl-5-nitro-4H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-4-one, m.p. 289°-290° (dec).
