Participants

Reaction Steps

The foregoing nitro compound (34.48 g, 0.1 mole), 500 ml of a 1:1 mixture (v/v) of toluene and ethanol, 10 g wet Raney nickel, and 50 ml 85% hydrazine hydrate was refluxed for 6 hr. Thereafter, the condenser was placed for distillation and heated until vapors at the still-head were alkaline. A small amount of hydroquinone was added, and the hot mixture filtered. The filtrates were concentrated in vacuo, leached with a little warm ethanol, then crystallized from ethanol (charcoal). The 8-amino-2-(4-chlorobenzyloxy)-6-methoxyquinoline was obtained in 97% yield; mp 123.5°-125°.
