Hydroxyamine hydrochloride → 3,7-Dichloroquinoline-8-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

28.1 parts of 3,7-dichloro-8-chloromethylquinoline (Example 1), 6.95 parts of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and 13.6 parts of sodium formate in 200 ml of formic acid and 60 ml of water were stirred at 100° C. for 12 hours. The reaction solution was poured onto ice and the precipitated solid was filtered off with suction, washed neutral with water and dried. 19 parts of 3,7-dichloro-8-cyanoquinoline of melting point 222° C. were obtained. The yield corresponds to 78.5% of theory.
