Methyl 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-oxopropanoate → HCID 89783720, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-bromobenzene-1,2-diamine (1.00 g, 5.35 mmol, CombiBlocks, Inc., San Diego, Calif.) and methyl 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-oxopropanoate (0.655 mL, 6.42 mmol; Alfa Aesar, Ward Hill, Mass.) in EtOH (15 mL) was stirred at reflux under argon for 17 h. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo. Purification by silica gel (0-70% EtOAc/Hexanes) provided 8-bromo-3-(trifluoromethyl)quinoxalin-2(1H)-one (224b, 29% yield) as a tan solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 12.43 (1H, br. s.), 8.04 (1H, d, J=7.8 Hz), 7.95 (1H, d, J=8.2 Hz), 7.38 (1H, t, J=7.9 Hz). 19F NMR (377 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm −68.44 (3F, br. s.). MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 293.0 (M+1).
