Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 9-nitro-2-phenyl-4,4a,5,6-tetrahydrobenzo[h]cinnolin-3(2H)-one in ethanol and water is added iron powder with stirring at room temperature. The mixture is heated up to 50° C. on a water bath with stirring and concentrated hydrochloric acid is added dropwise carefully. The resulting mixture is further stirred with heating at 80° C. and the filtrate is concentrated. To the residue is added an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, and the alkaline solution is extracted with chloroform. The extract is washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate anhydride and the chloroform is distilled off to give 9-amino-2-phenyl-4,4a,5,6-tetrahydrobenzo[h]cinnolin-3(2H)-one.
