Thionyl Chloride → HCID 22646571, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-acetoxy-7-methoxy-1,4-dihydroquinolin-4-one (6.2 g, 28 mmol) and thionyl chloride (75 ml) containing DMF (0.5 ml) was heated at reflux for 1 hour. The volatiles were removed by evaporation. The residue was suspended in methylene chloride (5 ml) and poured slowly into a stirred solution of methanol/ammonium hydroxide. The mixture was partitioned between water and methylene chloride and dried by passing through ,phase separating paper. Removal of the solvent by evaporation gave a solid which was triturated with ether, collected by filtration, washed with ether and dried under vacuum to give 4-chloro-6-hydroxy-7-methoxyquinoline.
