4H-Pyrido(2,1-a)phthalazine-1-carboxamide, 10-chloro-N,N-diethyl-4-oxo-3-phenyl- → HCID 53647567, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.7 g of 10-chloro-N,N-diethyl-4-oxo-3-phenyl-4H-pyrido[2,1-a]phthalazine-1-carboxamide are suspended in 65 ml of tetrahydrofuran under argon, whereupon 150 mg of lithium borohydride are added thereto, the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 4 hours, an additional 75 mg of lithium borohydride are added thereto and the mixture is stirred further until the reaction finishes. The reaction mixture is poured into 300 ml of ice-water, whereby the product crystallizes out. The crude product is chromatographed on silica gel. By recrystallization from toluene, there is obtained 10-chloro-N,N-diethyl-6,7-dihydro-4-oxo-3-phenyl-4H-pyrido[2,1-a]phthalazine-1-carboxamide of m.p. 192°-194° (toluene).
