Phosphorus oxychloride → HCID 10539447, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7.95 g (32.6 mmol) of 6-ethoxy-7-methoxy-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carbonitrile and 50 mL of phosphorous oxychloride was refluxed for 3 h 40 min. The phosphorous oxychloride was removed in vacuo and the residue was slurried with ice water. Solid NaHCO3 was added (pH8) and the product was collected by filtration, washed well with water and dried in vacuo (40° C.). The yield was 7.75 g of 4-chloro-6-ethoxy-7-methoxyquinoline-3-carbonitrile as a tan solid: mass spectrum (electrospray, m/e): M+H 262.8, 264.8.
