Hydrochloric Acid → (S)-2-(2-methyl-1H-indol-5-yl)-3-(2-methylpiperidin-1-yl)quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-methyl 2-(2-methyl-1H-indol-5-yl)-3-(2-methylpiperidin-1-yl)quinoxaline-6-carboxylate (142.1 mg, 0.34 mmol) in methanol (30 ml) was added NaOH (55 mg, 1.38 mmol) and water (2 ml). The resulting solution was stirred overnight at room temperature and concentrated under vacuum to give a residue, which was dissolved in water (20 ml), and the pH adjusted to 4 with HCl (3N). The solids were collected by filtration to afford (S)-2-(2-methyl-1H-indol-5-yl)-3-(2-methylpiperidin-1-yl)quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid as a yellow solid (11.9 mg, 9%).
