methyl 2-(1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-5-methoxy-1H-indol-2-yl)-3-(isopropyl(methyl)amino)quinoxaline-6-carboxylate → methyl 3-(isopropyl(methyl)amino)-2-(5-methoxy-1H-indol-2-yl)quinoxaline-6-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl 2-(1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-5-methoxy-1H-indol-2-yl)-3-(isopropyl(methyl)amino)quinoxaline-6-carboxylate (180.0 mg, 0.36 mmol) in 20% TFA/DCM (30 mL) was stirred overnight at room temperature and then quenched by the addition of water (100 ml). The reaction mixture was adjusted to pH 7 with aq. sodium bicarbonate, extracted with chloroform, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by a silica gel column with 0.1%-1% methanol in dichloromethane to afford methyl 3-(isopropyl(methyl)amino)-2-(5-methoxy-1H-indol-2-yl)quinoxaline-6-carboxylate as a light yellow solid (100.0 mg, 69%).
