Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydroxide (0.91 g, 0.0228 mole) was dissolved in 100 ml of water, and 2.6 g (0.0091 mole) of ethyl 1-amino-7-chloro-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylate was added. The mixture was stirred on a steam bath for two hours and the hot solution was neutralized with acetic acid (1.6 ml). The suspension of solid was stirred at room temperature for about sixteen hours, and the solid was collected by filtration and washed with water. The product was recrystallized from dimethylformamide to give 2.0 g of 1-amino-7-chloro-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid, beige powder, m.p. 312°-315° C.
