Chlorobenzene → HCID 23369598, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Chlorobenzene (28.6 ml) was added to N-(5-ethoxy-2-methylphenyl)cinnamamide (3.9 g, 14.8 mmol). While stirring the mixture in a hot bath (125° C.), aluminum chloride (9.2 g, 69.0 mmol) was added to the mixture, followed by stirring for 30 minutes. After the mixture was cooled, it was poured into ice-water, to which n-hexane was added. Precipitated crystals were collected. The crystals were dissolved in chloroform-methanol (4:1). The solution was dried and condensed. The resultant residue was washed with chloroform, then dissolved in chloroform-methanol (4:1) again. The solution was condensed again. The residue was washed with chloroform and then dissolved in methanol. The resultant solution was treated with activated carbon. 2.4 g of 5-hydroxy-8-methylcarbostyril was obtained as colorless crystals (92.7%).
