Water → 2-(5-Fluorobenzofuran-2-yl)-3-(isopropyl(methyl)amino)quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-(5-fluorobenzofuran-2-yl)-3-(isopropyl(methyl)amino)quinoxaline-6-carboxylate (560 mg, 1.42 mmol) in methanol (30 ml) was added sodium hydroxide (227.9 mg, 5.69 mmol) and water (2 ml) with stirring overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and dissolved in water (30 ml), adjusted to pH 5 with HCl (3N). The product was precipitated from water and collected by filtration to afford 2-(5-fluorobenzofuran-2-yl)-3-(isopropyl(methyl)amino)quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid as a light yellow solid (486 mg, 90%).
