Epichlorohydrin → HCID 12899141, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

20.0 grams of 8-chloro-5-hydroxy-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril and 18 g of potassium carbonate are suspended in 160 ml of isopropyl alcohol, then 40 ml of epichlorohydrin are added and the reaction is carried out at 70°-80° C. for 6 hours. The reaction mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure and the thus-obtained residue is stirred with 100 ml of 2N-sodium hydroxide under cooling conditions. The insoluble matter is separated by filtration, washed with water and dried. The crude crystals are recrystallized from isopropanol to obtain 18.5 g of 8-chloro-5-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril in the form of colorless needle-like crystals with a melting point of 161°-165° C.
