Stannous chloride dihydrate → 5-Amino-7-chloro-6-methyl-1,4-dihydro-quinoxaline-2,3-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 7-chloro-1,4-dihydro-6-methyl-5-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (0.050 g, 0.20 mmol) and tin (II) chloride dihydrate (0.133 g, 0.60 mmol) in ethanol (1.0 mL) was refluxed for 6 h. The suspension was then cooled to room temperature and the solid was collected by vacuum filtration, washed with ethanol (1 mL), and dried further under vacuum to obtain 0.036 g (82%) pure (HPLC) title compound as an off-white solid; mp-darkens at 323° C.; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 2.09 (s, 3H), 5.47 (s, 2H), 6.46 (s, 1H), 11.15 (s, 1H), 11.72 (s, 1H).
