Potassium Nitrate → 7-Chloro-6,8-difluoro-5-nitro-1,4-dihydroquinoxaline-2,3-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 120 mg (5.16 mmol) of 6-chloro-5,7-difluoro-1,4-dihydroquinoxaline-2,3-dione in 1 mL of H2SO4 (97%) kept in an ice bath was added portionwise 60 mg (0.59 mmol) of KNO3. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 14 h and 60 mg of KNO3 was added. It was stirred at room temperature for 24 h, then diluted with ice-water (4 mL), filtered, washed with water, and dried to leave a yellow solid (94 mg, 65%). The solid was purified by NaOH/HCl precipitation to leave 63 mg of yellow solid; mp>250° C.; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6), 12.11 (mb, 1), 12.503 (s, 1).
