Procedure

A solution of 1.00 g of methyl cinnolin-4-carboxylate in 15 ml diethyl ether is added dropwise at 0° C. to a suspension of 222 mg of lithium aluminium hydride in 5 ml of diethyl ether. After 1.5 hours water is carefully added dropwise to the reaction mixture, this is stirred with methylene chloride and suction filtered through a glass fibre filter. The aqueous phase is extracted with methylene chloride and the combined organic phases are dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated down. According to 1H-NMR a mixture of cinnoline and 1,4-dihydro-cinnoline compound is obtained as a yellow oil which is reacted further without any more purification.
