Procedure
To a solution of 2.85 g. of 4-ethoxypyrazolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline-3-carboxylic acid, ethyl ester in hot ethanol, there is added 10 ml. of 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide and the mixture refluxed for 2 hours. The mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue dissolved in water. The solution is filtered and neutralized with dilute hydrochloric acid. The precipitated 4-ethoxypyrazolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline-3-carboxylic acid is filtered and washed with a small amount of cold water. The product is crystallized from ethanol.
