8-Iodo-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid → 8-Iodo-4(1H)-quinolinone

Participants

Reaction Steps

8-Iodo-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid (15.69 g, 49.8 mmol) was suspended in phenylether (40 mL) and the mixture heated to boiling. After 30 min, reaction was completed by LCMS. The crude was transferred to a bequer and cooled to room temperature. Hexanes (500 mL) were added and the mixture was stirred for 10 min. The solid was retrieved by filtration, thoroughly washed with hexanes and purified by HPLC to afford 8-iodo-1H-quinolin-4-one as a brownish solid (4.4 g, 23%). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 400 MHz) δ 6.14 (d, 1H), 7.09 (t, 1H), 7.88 (d, 1H), 8.08 (dd, 1H), 8.16 (dd, 1H). Exact mass calculated for C9H6INO 270.95, found 271.8 (MH+).
