Reaction Steps

2-Methylcinchoninic acid has been prepared, as disclosed in Bull. Soc. Chem., France, 1956, 1294, by the reaction of isatin and acetone in 30 percent aqueous potassium hydroxide solution. However, it has been found that when isatin is reacted with 1,1,1-trifluoroacetone in an attempt to produce 2-trifluoromethyl cinchoninic acid in an analogous manner, the desired product cannot be obtained.
