Reaction Steps

Into a 50-mL round-bottom flask purged and maintained with an inert atmosphere of nitrogen, was placed a solution of methyl 3-(cyclopentylamino)-2-phenylquinoxaline-6-carboxylate (214.1 mg, 0.62 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL). This was followed by the addition of sodium hydride (246.8 mg, 6.17 mmol, 10.00 equiv, 60%) dropwise with stirring at 0° C. The resulting solution was stirred for 1 h at room temperature. To this was added a solution of CH3I (1.75 g, 12.32 mmol, 20.00 equiv) in tetrahydrofuran (2 mL) dropwise with stirring at 0° C. The resulting solution was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction was then quenched by the addition of water. The resulting mixture was concentrated under vacuum. This resulted in 200 mg (crude) of methyl 3-(cyclopentyl(methyl)amino)-2-phenylquinoxaline-6-carboxylate as yellow oil.
