Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.7 g (2.46 mmol) of 4-chloro-8-hydroxy-7-methoxybenzo[g]quinoline-3-carbonitrile, 0.57 g (2.95 mmol) of 2,4-dichloro-5-methoxyaniline and 0.28 g (2.46 mmol) of pyridine hydrochloride in 7 mL of 2-ethoxyethanol is heated at 120° C. for 2 hours, then cooled to room temperature. The product mixture is diluted with saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate and stirred for 15 minutes. The resulting solid is collected by filtration, washed with water and dried. The crude product is purified by silica gel chromatography, utilizing a 98:2 to 90:10 gradient of methylene chloride/methanol to give 0.71 g of 4-(2,4-dichloro-5-methoxyphenylamino)-8-hydroxy-7-methoxybenzo[g]quinoline-3-carbonitrile as a yellow solid, mp, 238-240° C.
