Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4,5-dimethyl-benzene-1,2-diamine (60 g) and diethyl oxalate (600 mL) was heated under reflux for 1 h and then cooled. The precipitate of 6,7-dimethyl-1,4-dihydro-quinoxaline-2,3-dione was filtered off and washed with 96% ethanol to give 38 g of the title compound. ESI-MS: m/z 191.1 [MH+], 403.3 [2MNa+]; required MW=190.2
