Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-fluoro-8-nitro-quinoline (900 mg, 4.7 mmol) in acetic acid (10 ml) was treated at room temperature with hydrogen peroxide (30% in water (1.6 ml), then it was stirred at 70° C. for 5 hours. For the workup, the reaction mixture was cooled and poured into ice-water. The precipitate was filtered, washed with water, collected and dried. 6-Fluoro-8-nitro-quinolin-3-ol was obtained as a brown solid (285 mg, 29%); (calculated) C9H5FN2O3 [208.2]; (found) [M−H]−=207.
