1,3-Dichlorobenzo[f] quinoline 2 was obtained from 1-hydroxybenzo[f]quinoli
n-3-one 1. Nucleophilic substitution, hydrolysis, hydrazinolysis and azidat
ion reactions of compound 2 have been studied and found to be regioselectiv
e. Also, 1-Aminobenzo[f] quinolinone 11 was obtained and transformed into b
enzoquinolinylthiourea derivative 12, naphthonaphthyridinedione 13, benzoqu
inolinylhydrazone 15 and benzo[f] quinolinylenamine 17.
