Reaction Steps

4.8 g of 1-nitro-9-acridanone are dissolved in 200 ml of dimethylformamide and treated with 0.5 g of sodium hydride. The deep red solution is treated with 2.5 ml of methyl iodide and stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The yellow precipitate obtained is filtered and washed successively with dimethylformamide, water, ethanol and ether. There is obtained 10-methyl-1-nitro-9-acridanone of melting point 308°-309°.
