Acrylic Acid → 4(1H)-Quinolinone, 8-amino-2,3-dihydro-

Participants

Reaction Steps

By Friedel-Crafts reaction, known compounds 3-(2nitrophenylamino)propionic acid, 3-(4-chloro-2-nitrophenylamino)propionic acid, 3-(3-chloro-2-nitrophenylamino)propionic acid [Ann. Chim. (Rome), volume 55, page 182 (1965)] or substituted N-(2-carboxyethyl)-2-nitroanilin compounds, which can generally be prepared by reacting known substituted 2-nitroaniline with acrylic acid, are converted into novel 2,3-dihydro-8-nitro-4(1H)-quinolinone compounds such as 7-chloro-2,3-dihydro-8-nitro-4(1H)-quinolinone, 6-fluoro-2,3-dihydro-8-nitro-4(1H)-quinolinone and 2,3-dihydro-7-methyl-8-nitro-4(1H)-quinolinone. The 2,3-dihydro-8-nitro-4(1H)-quinolinone compounds are reduced by tin chloride - hydrochloric acid, tin - hydrochloric acid, iron - hydrochloric acid, iron - acetic acid or by catalytic hydrogenation to give 8-amino-2,3-dihydro-4(1H)-quinolinone compounds represented by the formula (IV): ##STR4## wherein R2, R3 and R4 have the same significances as defined above.
