Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5 g (15,4 mmol) 7-chloro-6-ethoxycarbonylamino-5-nitro-2,3-dihydroxyquinoxaline and 10 g potassium hydroxide in 60 ml 2-methoxyethanol was refluxed for 15 min. After cooling to 25° C., the reaction mixture was added 20 ml 2-methoxyethanol and 40 ml ether. The precipitated black product was filtered off and washed with ether. The crude product was dissolved in 100 ml water. Addition of 4N hydrochloric acid to pH 5-6 gave 3,4 g (87%) 6-amino-7-chloro-5-nitro-2,3-dihydroxyquinoxaline as red crystals, m.p.>300° C. NMR (DMSO-d6): 12.3 (2H, broad m), 7.40 (1H,s), 6.8 (2H, broad s).
