Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-nitroquinoxaline (17.0 g, 0.097 mol) in MeOH (500 mL) was added hydrazine hydrate (19.4 g, 0.39 mol) and Raney Ni (2.0 g). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The mixture was then filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduce pressure to give quinoxalin-6-amine as a yellow solid (14.0 g, yield 99%). ESI MS: m/z 146.1 [M+H]+.
