Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (1.34 g, 8.21 mmol) in NMP (5 ml) was added methyl 3-chloro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxaline-6-carboxylate (1.1 g, 4.61 mmol). The resulting solution was stirred for 1 h at 150° C. in an oil bath and then diluted with water (300 ml). The solids were collected by filtration to afford methyl 3-(7-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-1-yl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxaline-6-carboxylate as a red solid (844 mg, 28%).
