Methylamine → 6-Bromo-N-methylquinoxalin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To solution of 6-bromo-2-chloro-quinoxaline (0.7 g, 1 eq, 2.87 mmol) in THF (6 mL) was added a solution of methyl amine in THF (3 mL) at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. After completion of the reaction, the volatiles were removed under vacuum and water (20 mL) was added to reaction mixture. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (15 mL×3). The organic layer was washed with water (20 mL) and brine (20 mL) and then dried over Na2SO4. The organic layer was concentrated under vacuum to afford the crude product.
