Reaction Steps

6-Chloro-2-(1-naphthylamino)-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]quinoline-1,3,9-trione (1.30 g, 3.34 mM) was stirred in methanol (0.65 L) and methanesulfonic acid (65 mL) was added. The brown suspension was heated to reflux for 16 hours during which the solids dissolved to give a brown solution. This solution was cooled to room temperature. Addition of ice (10 mL) gave a tan suspension which was stirred for 1.5 hours. The suspension was filtered (the filtrate was saved for use in Example 24) and the collected solids were washed with methanol and ether to give the title compound (0.560 g, 43%) as a dull yellow powder, mp 374-376° C.; MS(CI): 390 (M+H).
