Ur. Kalkote et al., QUINOLONE ANTIBIOTICS - STUDY OF REACTIVITY AND IMPURITY PROFILE OF PIPERAZINE WITH CHLORO-FLUORO-QUINOLONE CARBOXYLIC-ACID IN AQUEOUS-MEDIUM, Tetrahedron letters, 37(37), 1996, pp. 6785-6786
The reaction of cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3- car
boxylic acid with piperazine in water was studied. The product ciprofl
oxacin was isolated and the impurity formed in the reaction was isolat
ed and characterized as iperazinyl-4-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carbox
ylic acid. Similarly norfloxacin was also synthesised. Copyright (C) 1
