Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 6-[4-carboxyphenyl]-2-(1H)-quinolone disodium salt dihydrate (0.5 g) (see Example 13B) in thionyl chloride (10 cm3) was heated under reflux for 10 minutes. The cooled solution was evaporated in vacuo to afford a yellow solid which was treated without purification with aqueous ammonia solution (5 cm3, S.G. 0.88) with stirring. The solid material was filtered off and warmed with chloroform:methanol, 4:1, to remove soluble impurities and the remaining solid was filtered to afford the title compound, m.p. >320°, (0.3 g).
