Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-fluorobenzofuran-2-ylboronic acid (258.0 mg, 1.43 mmol) in dioxane (5.5 mL) was added ethyl 2-chloro-3-(isopropyl(methyl)amino)quinoxaline-6-carboxylate (140.0 mg, 0.48 mmol), K3PO4 (302.0 mg, 1.43 mmol) and Pd(PPh3)4 (27.5 mg, 0.02 mmol) and water (3 drops) with stirring for 1 h at 90° C. in an oil bath maintained under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen. The reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum to give a residue, which was purified by a silica gel column (1% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether) to afford methyl 2-(5-fluorobenzofuran-2-yl)-3-(isopropyl(methyl)amino)quinoxaline-6-carboxylate as a light yellow solid (160.0 mg, 81%).
