Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 13756054, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 250 ml of glacial acetic acid was dissolved 4.43 g of 9-amino-3,4-dihydro-7-nitroacridin-1(2H)-one and 0.44 g of 10% Pd/C was added. The mixture was put in a 500 ml hydrogenation vessel (Parr) and was shaken under 55 psig (initial) H2. The uptake of H2 was 3 eq before the reaction was complete. The reaction was poured into ice and made basic with 10% NaOH. The precipitate was filtered and dissolved in MeOH. The insoluble Pd/C catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate was diluted with toluene and concentrated until crystallization occurred. The yield was 2.84 g (73%) of a solid, melting point 310° C.
