Procedure
A mixture of 2,3-diamino-5,6-dichlorotoluene (21.6 g, 0.137 mol) and oxalic acid (18.45 g, 0.206 mol) in hydrochloric acid (4M, 900 mL) was heated at reflux for 6 hours, cooled and filtered. The dark brown solid was suspended in diethyl ether, filtered and washed with more ether to give 1,4-dihydro-6,7-dichloro-5-methyl-quinoxaline-2,3-dione (22.06 g, 66%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO) 2.40 (3H, s), 7.14 (1H, s), 11.37 (1H, s), 11.94 (1H, s).
