Reaction Steps

A 250-mL, three-necked, round bottomed flask fitted with a nitrogen inlet, magnetic stir bar, and thermocouple was charged with (S)-1-(6-bromo-2-methyl-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-1(2H)-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethanone (7.0 g, 21.66 mmol), dichloromethane (140 mL), and pyridine (2.63 mL, 32.5 mmol). The mixture was cooled to 0° C. and cyclopropanecarbonyl chloride (2.36 mL, 26.0 mmol) was slowly added while maintaining the internal temperature below 7° C. The reaction mixture was stirred cold for 30 min. and then warmed to rt. The reaction mixture was washed with 1 M aqueous HCl solution (25 mL) and water (25 mL), and the combined organic layers were concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluting with 4:1 hexanes-ethyl acetate) to afford (S)-1-(6-bromo-4-(cyclopropanecarbonyl)-2-methyl-3,4-dihydroquinoxaline-1(2H)-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethanone (8.26 g, 97%) as an off-white solid. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z 392 [M+1]+.
