Hydrochloric Acid → 2-(Benzofuran-3-yl)-3-(isopropyl(methyl)amino)quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-(benzofuran-3-yl)-3-(isopropyl(methyl)amino)quinoxaline-6-carboxylate (100 mg, 0.27 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) and water (1 mL) was added sodium hydroxide (105 mg, 2.62 mmol). After stirring overnight at room temperature, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford a residue, which was dissolved in water (10 mL), the pH was adjusted to 6 with HCl (3N) and filtered to give 2-(benzofuran-3-yl)-3-(isopropyl(methyl)amino)quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid as a light yellow solid (35.7 mg, 37%).
