Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Acetyl chloride (2.0 mL, 28.1 mmol) was added to a mixture of 3,4-dihydro-7-methoxy-2H-quinolin-2-one (1.99 g, 11.2 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (30 mL). The mixture obtained was cooled to 0° C. and AlCl3 (6.0 g, 44.98 mmol) was added in portions. The mixture was heated to reflux for 2 hours. The reaction was cautiously poured over ice-H2O, stirred for a minimum of 1 hour (to overnight), and extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated to give the title compound (1.89 g, 82%) as an off-white solid.
