Reaction Steps

2(2-Bromoethyl)-7-chloro-4-hydroxy-1,2,5,10-tetrahydropyridazino[4,5-b]quinoline-1,10-dione (0.500 g, 1.35 mM) was stirred in dimethylformamide (10 mL), and N-phenylpiperazine (10 mL, 10.6 g, 65.5 mM) was added. The resulting yellow suspension was heated to ˜110° C. to form a clear yellow solution. The solution was heated for 6 hours during which time a precipitate formed. The suspension was cooled to room temperature and stirred for five days. The resulting yellow suspension was dissolved into aqueous methanol (500 mL, 50%). The pH of this solution was carefully adjusted to pH=6 with 1N hydrochloric acid (˜20 mL) which gave a yellow precipitate. This suspension was stirred for 1 hour and filtered to give the title compound contaminated with N-phenylpiperazine (0.753 g). This material was recrystallized from hot ethanol (200 mL) to give the title compound (0.428 g, 70%) as a yellow powder, mp 361-364° C.; MS(CI): 452 (M+H).
