Reaktionsschritte

To a mixture of THF (60 mL) and DMF (7.5 mL) at 0° C. under nitrogen was added oxalyl chloride (6.5 mL, 76.8 mmol) during which time a white precipitate formed. The temperature was slowly raised to room temp. and stirred for 1.5 hr. THF was distilled off from the reaction mixture under reduced pressure and under nitrogen. The gummy residue was further diluted with DMF (100 mL). A solution of 1-(4-chloro-2-phenylamino-phenyl)-propan-1-one (5.0 g, 19.30 mmol) in DMF (50 mL) was added to the reaction mixture at room temperature. The reaction was heated at 115° C. for 2 hr. The reaction mixture was brought down to room temperature, then diluted with water (750 mL), and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×750 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (500 mL), dried, and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield 7-chloro-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-quinolin-4-one (4.25 g, 81.6%) as an off-white solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ ppm 8.24 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H) 8.01 (s, 1H) 7.52-7.80 (m, 5H) 7.40 (dd, J=8.8, 1.8 Hz, 1H) 6.87 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 1H) 2.01 (s, 3H). MS calcd. for C16H12ClNO [(M+H)+] 270.0, obsd. 269.8.
