Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

After suspending 6,7-dimethoxy-4-(5-nitrothiophen-2-ylsulfanyl)quinoline (1.39 g, 4.00 mmol), iron (1.12 g, 20.0 mmol) and ammonium chloride (2.18 g, 40.0 mmol) in an ethanol (32 ml)-water (8 ml) mixed solvent, the suspension was heated and stirred at 80° C. for 5 minutes. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was filtered with celite and washed in ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated saline and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, the drying agent was filtered off and the filtrate was distilled off under reduced pressure. The obtained crude product was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (eluent-ethyl acetate:hexane=3:1), and the fraction containing the target substance was concentrated to obtain the title compound (1.93 g, 5.54 mmol, 55%) as yellowish-brown crystals.
