Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 3-ethoxy-7-fluoro-6-nitroquinoxaline-2-carboxylate (6.90 g, 22.3 mmol) in acetonitrile (70 ml) were added dropwise 4-(hydroxymethyl)imidazole hydrochloride (15.1 g, 112 mmol) and successively triethylamine (23.4 ml, 168 mmol) under shading, and the mixture was refluxed for 16 hours. After cooling, methylene chloride was added to the reaction mixture, which was washed with water. The aqueous layer was extracted with methylene chloride, which was combined with foregoing organic layer. After dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, solvent was distilled off. The residue obtained was purified by means of silica gel column chromatography [ethyl acetate] to obtain 3.69 g of the the title compound as brown power. Yield 43%. Moreover, 2.15 g of ethyl 3-ethoxy-7-fluoro-6-nitroquinoxaline-2-carboxylate were recovered. Yield 31%.
