Participants

Reaction Steps

6,8-Dichloro-2-anilino-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]quinoline-1,3,9-trione (0.60 g, 1.60 mM) was stirred in methanol (200 mL) and methanesulfonic acid (20 mL) was added with cooling, maintaining the temperature below 20° C. The resulting orange solution was stirred overnight at room temperature. A precipitate formed overnight and the orange suspension was heated to reflux for 1 hour. The suspension was cooled to room temperature and allowed to stand overnight without stirring. The suspension was filtered and the filtrates were slowly diluted with water (200 mL) to give a yellow suspension. This suspension was stirred for two hours and the solids were collected and washed with water, aqueous methanol, 50% methanol/ether, and ether to give the title compound (0.368 g, 61%) as a light tan powder, mp 361-363° C.; MS(CI): 374 (M+H).
