To a solution of 0.5 g of 7-isopropyl-2-amino-3-cyano-1-azaxanthone in 80 ml of acetic acid was added gradually 1.0 g of sodium nitrate at 70° C. After one hour period, 3 ml of water was added to the mixture which was heated at 70° C. for a further one hour. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure and then, to the residue, water was added. The yellow precipitate was collected by filtration, rinsed with water and recrystallized from ethanol to give 7-isopropyl-2-hydroxy-3-cyano-1-azaxanthone as yellow crystals, m.p. > 300° C.
