Procedure

Into a 100-mL round-bottom flask, was placed a solution of 1,2-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)ethane-1,2-dione (200 mg, 0.74 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in acetic acid (20 mL), 3,4-diaminobenzonitrile (118.2 mg, 0.89 mmol, 1.20 equiv). The resulting solution was stirred for 1 h at reflux in an oil bath. The reaction was then quenched by the addition of water. The solids were collected by filtration and washed with MeOH. This resulted in 205 mg (71%) of 2,3-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)quinoxaline-6-carbonitrile as a yellow solid.
