Hydrochloric Acid → 1-(4-chlorobutyl)-2-propyl-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]quinolin-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Hydrochloric acid (18 mL, 71.0 mmol) in ethanol was added dropwise to a solution of 4-(2-aminophenyl)-5-(4-chlorobutyl)-1-propyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonitrile (7.50 g, 23.7 mmol) in 150 mL of ethanol. The resultant solution was heated to reflux overnight, concentrated under reduced pressure, and diluted with water. The pH of the mixture was adjusted to 9-10 by slow addition of solid sodium carbonate. The aqueous layer was extracted with several portions of dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford a reddish solid. The material was purified via flash column chromatography on silica gel (eluting with a 96:4 mixture of dichloromethane/methanol) to afford 4.78 g of 1-(4-chlorobutyl)-2-propyl-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]quinolin-4-amine.
