Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 3-chloro-2-(4-fluorophenyl)quinoxaline-6-carboxylate (270 mg, 0.85 mmol) in DMSO (1 mL) was added (R)-2-(trifluoromethyl)pyrrolidine (275 mg, 1.99 mmol). The resulting solution was stirred 7 days at 130° C. and then evaporated in vacuo. The residue was diluted with petroleum ether (15 mL) and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by a silica gel column chromatography with 2%-10% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether to afford (R)-methyl 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(2-(trifluoromethyl)pyrrolidin-1-yl)quinoxaline-6-carboxylate as a yellow solid (35 mg, crude).
