Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.7 g (1.9 mmol) of 7-chloro-4-(5-methoxy-2-methylanilino)-6-nitro-3-quinolinecarbonitrile and 0.62 g (9.5 mmol) of sodium azide is heated at 60° C. under nitrogen for 24 hours. The mixture is cooled and poured onto ice. The solid is collected by filtration, washed with water and dried to yield 0.65 g of 7-azido-4-(5-methoxy-2-methylanilino)-6-nitro-3-quinolinecarbonitrile as a yellow solid.
