Potassium Carbonate → 242QUINOXALINYLOXYPHENOXYPROPIONICACIDETHYLESTER

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 50 ml of acetonitrile, 2.1 g of ethyl 2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)propionate and 1.66 g of potassium carbonate were added and the mixture was refluxed for 1 hour and then, 1.65 g of 2-chloroquinoxaline was added and the mixture was further refluxed for 30 hours. After cooling, the precipitated inorganic salt was separated by a filtration. Acetone was distilled off from the filtrate under a reduced pressure to obtain 3.5 g of the oily residue. The residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (developer solvent: chloroform) to obtain 2.6 g (yield 77%) of the object compound.
