Hydroxyamine hydrochloride → 3,7-Dichloroquinoline-8-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

28.1 parts by weight of the 3,7-dichloro-8-dichloromethylquinoline thus obtained, 6.95 parts by weight of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and 13.6 parts by weight of sodium formate in 200 ml of formic acid and 60 ml of water were stirred for 12 hours at 100° C., the reaction solution was poured onto ice, the precipitated solid was filtered off under suction, washed neutral with water and dried. 19 parts by weight of 3,7-dichloro-8-cyanoquinoline of melting point 222° C. were obtained. Yield: 78.5% of theory.
