Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

5,7-Dichloro-3-ethoxycarbonyl-4-hydroxyquinoline (114.4 g; 0.4 mole) and 343.2 g of 70% sulfuric acid were charged in a 1,000 ml four-necked flask equipped with stirrer, thermometer and distilling tube and the mixture was heated at 150° C. with stirring. Reaction was continued by heating up to 165° C. during three hours together with evaporation of the by-produced ethanol outside the reaction system. The reaction product was analyzed by liquid chromatography whereupon and it was found that the starting 5,7-dichloro-3-ethoxycarbonyl-4-hydroxy-quinoline disappeared and that 5,7-dichloro-3-carboxy-4-hydroxyquinoline in 22% yield and 5,7-dichloro-4-hydroxyquinoline in 78% yield were produced.
