Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 7-amino-3-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6-trifluoromethylquinoxaline-2-carboxylate (3.60 g, 11.9 mmol) in acetic acid (60 ml) was added dropwise 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran-3-aldehyde (2.01 ml, 14.2 mmol) at 50° C., and the mixture was stirred for 1.5 hours at the same temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into water (300 ml), which was extracted with ethyl acetate. After dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, solvent was distilled off. Methylene chloride was added to the residue obtained and the crystals were collected by filtration. These were washed with methylene chloride and then air-dried to obtain 2.57 g of the title compound as yellow powder. The filtrate and the washings were combined, concentrated under reduced pressure, and purified by means of silica gel column chromatography [ethyl acetate-hexane=2:1] to obtain further 973 mg. Total yield by weight 3.54 g. Yield 78%.
