Abstract :
in this study, at first 4-chloroaniline was reacted with diethylmalonate to give corresponding dianilide. Then the dianilide was cyclized to 6-Chloro-4-hydroxyquinoline-2(1H)-one in melted polyphosphoric acid at 140-150 oC. 6-Chloro-3-nitro-4-hydroxyquinoline-2(1H)-one was successfully synthesized from 6-Chloro -4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one through a tradition nitration process in satisfactory yields. The synthesized compounds were recrystallized from dimethyl formamide. All of the prepared materials were characterized by use of fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopic techniques. Then, antibacterial activities of the nitration product dissolved in DMSO were evaluated using well diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Proteus vulgaris (ATCC 49132) and Listeria monocytogenes (1298 ATCC) bacterial strains.According to the activity index, the well diffusion results show that the compounds 18 has reasonable antimicrobial activity against the tested microbes, which was confirmed by an inhibition zone compared to the standard drug Gentamycine.

1. Introduction
Over the years, interest in quinolin-2-one derivatives has been growing due to their potential biological and chemical benefits [1, 2]. Quinoline-2-one is an important structural component of several synthetic and natural compounds with notable medicinal properties [3, 4]. There are many papers that have reported the synthesis and properties of quinoline-2-ones and a large number of their derivatives [5]. For example, Antimicrobial tests were conducted on a novel series of symmetrically substituted 3,3-dibenzyl-4-hydroxy-3,4-dihydro-1H-quinolin-2-ones. The results showed that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of these active heterocycles were even slightly higher than those exhibited by levofloxacin, employed as a comparator medicinal reference [6].
A series of 4-hydroxy-3-nitro-2-quinolones were synthesized and their biological activity were discussed and compared with their related analogs [7-11]. The ability of these antiallergic agents to prevent the rat's homocytotropic antibody-antigen-induced passive cutaneous anaphylactic reaction has been used to measure their antiallergic activity [12].
Similarly, it has been demonstrated that 4-Hydroxy-3-nitro-2(1H)-quinolone (compound 1, Scheme 1), a nitrated derivative of 4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one, exhibits anticancer action against cancer cells (Scheme 1). It can be applied to the treatment of lung cancer, breast cancer, and colon cancer, among other cancer types. 4-Hydroxy-3-nitro-2(1H)- quinolone is an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antagonist and blocks epidermal growth factor signaling through its inhibition of EGFR tyrosine kinase activity [13].
Inspired by aforementioned encouraging results, herein we firstly prepared 6-chloro-4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one (16) and characterized its structure. This compound was then reacted with concentrated nitric acid to obtain corresponding 3-nitro derivative (17) (Scheme 2). Besides, antibacterial activities of the dyes dissolved in DMSO were evaluated using well diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Proteus vulgaris (ATCC 49132) and Listeria monocytogenes (1298 ATCC) bacterial strains.

2. Experimental
2.1. materials and methods
All chemicals and solvents were procured from commercial suppliers, namely Aldrich–Sigma and Merck chemical companies. The FT-IR spectra of the samples were obtained using a Perkin Elmer FT-IR Spectrophotometer, employing pressed KBr discs. NMR spectra were acquired using a Brucker Avance spectrometer in DMSO-d6 with TMS serving as an internal standard. Melting points were determined using a Barnstead Electrothermal 9100 melting point apparatus in open capillary tubes, and the values were left uncorrected.
2.2. Preparation of N, N-Di-(4-chlorophenyl) malonamide 16
A mixture of 4-chloroaniline (100 mmol, 12.8 g) and dimethylmalonate (50 mmol, 5.7 ml) was refluxed for 4 hours in an oil bath. After cooling, the mixture was treated with diethyl ether, filtered by suction, and recrystallized from ethanol. The yield was 95%, resulting in a white solid with a melting point of 218-220 °C (reported as 217 °C [14]).
2.3. Synthesis of 6-chloro-4-hydroxyquinoline-2-(1H)-one 17
N, N′-Di-(4-chlorophenyl) malonamide (0.576 g, 2 mmol) was dissolved in 3.5 ml of methane sulfonic acid containing 10% phosphorus pentoxide and heated in an oil bath at 150°C for 90 minutes. The resulting dark viscous solution was allowed to cool, followed by the addition of water. The precipitated compound was filtered, washed with water, and air-dried. The crude product was then dissolved in 20 ml of 0.1 mol∙L⁻¹ sodium hydroxide solution, and any undissolved material was removed by filtration. The filtrate was neutralized with concentrated hydrochloric acid, and the resulting solid was recrystallized from DMF, yielding 6-chloro-4-hydroxyquinolin-2-(1H)-one as a white powder.
6-Chloro- 4-hydroxyquinoline -2-(1H)-one: white solid; Yield 42%; m.p. >350°C (350°C Ref. [15]); FT-IR(KBr) ν (cm-1) 3420(OH), 3100(NH), 3025(=C-H), 1658(C=O); 1H NMR (400MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 12.01(NH, br), 7.78(1H, d, J=2.4 Hz), 7.60(1H, dd, J= 8.8, 2.4Hz), 7.26(1H, d, J= 8.8 Hz), 5.99(1H, s).
2.4. Synthesis of 6-chloro-3-nitro-4-hydroxyquinoline-2-(1H)-one 18
A suspension of 6-Chloro- 4-hydroxyquinoline -2-(1H)-one 17 (2.0 mmol, 0.39 g) in glacial acetic acid (6 mL) was heated for 10-15 minutes in an oil bath at 70 °C and then treated with nitrating agent prepared from concentrated nitric acid (0.2 mL) and concentrated sulphuric acid (0.25 mL) to start the exothermic reaction. The starting material dissolved and the solution was stirred for an additional 10 min at this temperature. The resulting solution was then poured into ice water (100 mL) and the precipitate was filtered and recrystallized from glacial acetic acid to afford 6-chloro-3-nitro-4-hydroxyquinoline-2-(1H)-one 18 as grey powder. FTIR (KBr): 3371 (OH), 3181 (NH), 3078 (=C–H), 1657 (C=O), 1597 (C=C),1597 (N=O), 1499 (N=O); 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6), δ(ppm): 11.12 (1H, OH), 7.89 (1H, d, J = 2.0 Hz), 7.51(1H, dd, J=2, 8.4 Hz), 7.19 (1H, d, J=8.4 Hz).
3. Results and Discussions
3.1. Synthesis and characterization
6-chloro-4-Hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one 17 was prepared by modification of the reported procedure [19]. In this method, N, N´-di(4-chlorophenyl) malonamide 16 was synthesized by the reaction of 4-chloroaniline with diethyl malonate under reflux condition. This obtained dianilide was then cyclized to 6-chloro-4-Hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one in reaction with polyphosphoric acid under thermal condition at 140-150 °C. The 1H NMR data were used to distinguish the structure of this compound from the starting materials in which, the signal at 5.99 ppm (=CH) confirmed the formation of the desired quinolone ring. The preparation of the 6-chloro-4-Hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one and its nitration is illustrated in Scheme 2. Compound 17 was nitrated with concentrated nitric acid in glacial acetic acid at 80 °C for 10 min to afford 6-chloro-3-nitro-4-hydroxyquinolin-2-(1H)-one 18 in a good yield.
Compound 11 possesses a nitro group; therefore the stretching
vibration of N=O linkage shows two bands at 1592 and 1334
cm–1 in its IR spectra. The signal assigned to the olefinic proton
was not observed in the 1H NMR spectrum of this compound.
This compound was reduced with sodium dithionite in alkaline
medium to give 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzo[h]quinolin-2-
(1H)-one 12. Bromination of 3 in acetic acid gave 3-bromo-
4-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzo[h]quinolin-2-(1H)-one 13 structure
of which was identified by 1H NMR spectroscopy.

3.2. Evaluation of Antibacterial Activity
The synthesized nitro derivative of 6-chloro-4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one was tested for its antibacterial activities by using the well diffusion method on Mueller-Hinton agar (MHA). The compound was dissolved in DMSO and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Proteus vulgaris (ATCC 49132) and Listeria monocytogenes (1298 ATCC) were used as references for the antibacterial assay and the inhibition zones were reported in millimeter (mm) after 24 hours. The results are depicted in Table 3.(needs to revise)
