2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione was synthesized by the procedure for the preparation of 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione [1]. A mixture of 3,4-methylenedioxy- benzaldehyde (0.45 g, 3 mmol), 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione (0.714 g, 3 mmol), ammonium acetate (4.62 g, 60 mmol) and glacial acetic acid (30 cm3) was refluxed with stirring at 130 oC for 2 hours. The cooled solution was filtered, diluted with water (ca, 40 cm3) and neutralized with concentrated aqueous ammonia. The orange precipitate was collected and purified by column chromatography on alumina with ethanol-toluene (16:1 v/v) as eluent. The title compound was obtained as amorphous yellow solid (0.52 g), Yield: 47%.
