Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide → Succinimide 3,4-dihydrocarbostyril-6-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

10 Grams of 6-carboxy-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril and 6.0 g of N-hydroxysuccinimide were suspended in 200 ml of dioxane. Then a solution containing 12.4 g of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in 50 ml of dioxane was added dropwise thereto under ice-cooled condition with stirring. The reaction mixture was further stirred for 4 hours at 90° C. After the reaction was completed, the reaction mixture was allowed to stand to cool at room temperature, and the crystals precipitated were removed by filtration, then the filtrate obtained was concentrated to dryness. The residue was recrystallized from dimethylformamide-ethanol to obtain 10.8 g of succinimide 3,4-dihydrocarbostyril-6-carboxylate in the form of colorless flake-like crystals.
