3-Chloro-1,2-propanediol → 8-(2,3-Dihydroxy)propoxy-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.8 g of potassium hydroxide was dissolved in 50 ml of methanol, and 1.63 g of 8-hydroxy-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril and 1.4 g of glycerol α-monochlorohydrin were added to the resulting solution followed by refluxing the mixture for 3 hours. The raction mixture was then concentrated to dryness, and the resulting residue was extracted with 50 ml of chloroform. The extract was washed with a 2% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and then water, and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The chloroform was then removed by distillation and the resulting residue was recrystallized from ethanol to give 0.8 g of 8-(2,3-dihydroxy)propoxy-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril as a light yellow amorphous solid having a melting point of 182° - 184° C.
