Abstract

Several 2,3-dihydro-7H-dibenzo[de,h]quinolin-7-ones and 7H-dibenzo[de,h]quinolin-7-ones were catalytically hydro­genated over PtO2 in acetic acid to afford 7-hydroxyquinoline and quinolone derivatives with reduced benzene rings.

Representative Experimental Procedure: A yellow solution of 2, mp 164-165 ºC, prepared as described,4 (0.5 g, 1.90 mmol) in 50 mL of AcOH was hydrogenated at 68 psi over PtO2 (0.3 g) for 24 h at r.t. The colorless solution was diluted with 100 mL water, neutralized with NH3 and extracted with CHCl3 (200 mL). The CHCl3 extract was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to dryness, and the residue subjected to flash column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with 90:10 EtOAc-hexane (v/v) to give 5 (0.390 g, 77% yield), which crystallized in MeOH as yellowish needles.
