Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

5-Acetyl-8-benzyloxyquinoline-N-oxide (10 gms/0.034 moles) was charged in acetic anhydride (20 ml) at 25-30° C. The resulting slurry was heated to 40° C. and stirred for 2 hours at 40° C. After completion of reaction, the reaction mass was cooled to 25-30° C., chilled to 0-5° C. and stirred for 30 minutes at 0-5° C. The resulting 5-Acetyl-8-benzyloxycarbostyril was isolated by filtration and washed with diisopropyl ether (50 ml), dried under vacuum at 60-65° C. for 2-3 hours. Yield-7 gms.
