Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-bromo-8-chloromethyl-1,3,3-trimethyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-quinoxalin-2-one (Reference Compound No. 2, 1.82 g, 5.73 mmol), 2-methoxyaniline (728 μL, 6.46 mmol), and potassium carbonate (1.19 g, 8.61 mmol) were suspended in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (30 mL) and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. overnight. After cooling down, ethyl acetate (100 mL) and diethylether (100 mL) were added. The organic layer was washed with water (200 mL, 100 mL) and saturated brine (100 mL), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate) to give the titled reference compound (1.45 g) as a pale yellow amorphous product. (Yield 63%)
