Acetyl chloride → 1,2-dimethyl-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]quinolin-4-amine hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of acetyl chloride (0.150 g, 1.9 mmol) in ethanol (6.4 mL) was stirred for 15 minutes. 4-(2-Aminophenyl)-1,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonitrile (0.270 g, 1.27 mmol) was added, and the reaction was heated at reflux under a nitrogen atmosphere for two hours. A precipitate formed. The mixture was allowed to cool to ambient temperature and then cooled to 0° C. The solid was isolated by filtration, washed with diethyl ether, and dried to provide 285 mg of 1,2-dimethyl-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]quinolin-4-amine hydrochloride as a white solid, mp>250° C.
