Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred suspension of 6-chloro-2-(2-methoxyanilino)-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]quinoline-1,3,9-trione (1.78 g, 4.81 mM) in a solution of methanol (285 mL) and methanesulfonic acid (89 mL) was refluxed for 8 hours during which time a tan precipitate formed. The resulting suspension was cooled to room temperature and stirred for 16 hours. The suspension was filtered (the filtrate was saved for use in Example 30) and the collected solids were washed with methanol and then ether to give the title compound (0.889 g, 50%) as a yellow powder, mp 356-359° C.; MS(CI): 370 (M+H).
