Nitric Acid → HCID 178422973, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Nitric acid (6 mL of 70%) was slowly added to a hot (125° C. ) solution of 7-methyl-4-quinolinol (10.5 g) in propionic acid (125 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for about 1.5 hours and then it was allowed to cool to ambient temperature. The resulting precipitate was isolated by filtration, rinsed well with ethanol and water and then dried to provide 6.9 g of 7-methyl-3-nitro-4-quinolinol as a pale yellow solid.
