Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-(2-thienyl)quinoxalin-2(1 H)-one (500 mg, 2.19 mmol.) and POCl3 (6 mL) was heated to reflux at 120° C. After the material was consumed, the reaction mixture was taken up with water and ice. The solid was collected and dried in vacuo to give 2-chloro-3-(2-thienyl)quinoxaline (400 mg, 74%). 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.22 (d, J=4.8 Hz, 1 H), 8.00 (d, J=10.4 Hz, 1 H), 7.91 (d, J=10.4 Hz, 1 H), 7.72˜7.61 (m, 2 H), 7.52 (d, J=6.8 Hz, 1 H), 7.13 (t, J=6.0 Hz, 1 H).
