Abstract: | 5,6-Dichlorobenzo[f]quinoline is formed by the action of thionyl chloride on 3-hydroxy-5-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[f]quinoline hydrochloride. 7-Chlorobenzo[f]quinoline and 7-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[f]quinoline are obtained in good yields by heating 3-hydroxy-7-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[f]quinoline with orthophosphoric acid, while benzo[f]quinoline is also obtained by heating it with polyphosphoric acid.See [1] for communication VII.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 108–111, January, 1971. |
