Abstract

The reaction of 4-chloro-3-quinolinesulfonic acid (3) with sodium hydrosulfide gives the sodium salt of 1,4-dihydro-4-thioxo-3-quinolinesulfonic acid (4) and 4-mercapto-3-quinolinesulfonic acid (4b). The acidification of aqueous solution of the sodium salt of 4 results in 1,4-dihydro-4-thioxo-3-quinolinesulfonic acid (4a). It has been found that in the DMSO solution tautomer (4a) converts into tautomer (4b). The X-Ray analysis of tautomer (4a) indicates that it appeared in a form of betaine (4c).
