4-hydroxy-2-quinolones. 110. Bromination of 1-r-4-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid anilides

1-R-4-Hydroxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid anilides have been prepared. It has been shown experimentally that these compounds are brominated by molecular bromine in glacial acetic acid at position 4 of the anilide fragment. The antitubercular properties of the compounds synthesized are discussed. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1508–1516, October, 2006.
