Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

85 mg (0.33 mmol) of 4-oxo-4,5-dihydro-3H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]quinoline-1-ethyl carboxylate as prepared in the preceding synthesis 1 is added in the space of 90 minutes to 106 μL (1.65 mmol) of chlorosulfonic acid cooled to 0° C. on an ice bath. On completion of addition, the solution is stirred for 1 hour at room temperature then 3 hours at 70° C. The reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature then poured into ice water (20 mL). The mixture is stirred for 15 minutes then the solid is filtered, and taken up in methanol/toluene mixture. The solvents are evaporated to give 64 mg (60%) of 8-chlorosulfonyl-4-oxo-4,5-dihydro-3H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]quinoline-1-carboxylic acid in the form of a beige solid.
