Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-chloro-8-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline (9.2 g) in 55 mL of fluorosulfonic acid is stirred at 120° C. for 18 h in a tightly stoppered flask. The mixture is then cooled to −78° C. and poured onto an intimate mixture of 250 mL of crushed ice and 250 mL of powdered dry ice. The mixture is allowed to warm to 25° C., and then diluted with distilled water until further addition causes no additional solid to precipitate (ca. 100 mL). The mixture is filtered, and the solid obtained is washed with four 50 mL-portions of 0° C. distilled water and then dried in a stream of air to give 10.7 g of the title compound as an orange powder.
