Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 8-chloro-3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone (5.08 g) in acetic anhydride (50 ml) was dropwise added a solution of nitric acid (d=1.40, 2.97 g) in acetic acid (20 ml) over the period of 10 minutes with stirring under ice-cooling. The mixture was stirred for 2 hours at ambient temperature and then for 6 hours at 50° C., and was allowed to stand for 60 hours at ambient temperature. The resulting precipitates were collected, washed with acetic anhydride and ethyl acetate successively and dried to give 8-chloro-6-nitro-3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone (3.83 g).
