Reaction Steps

8-Fluoro-1-methyl-6-nitro-3,4-dihydro-1H-quinolin-2-one (Step 2, 2.28 g, 0.0102 mol) is heated in ethanol (75 ml) until dissolved. Water (25 ml) and ammonium chloride (5.46 g, 0.102 mol) are added and the mixture heated to 90° C. Iron powder (2.27 g, 0.0407 mol) is added portionwise and the mixture stirred and heated for 30 minutes. The reaction is cooled and dichloromethane (200 ml) added. The mixture is filtered and the organic layer separated, washed with saline, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to give the title compound as a yellow solid (1.98 g, 99%); [M+H]+=195.
