1,3-Dipropyl-2-thiourea → 2-[(Propylamino)(propylimino)methylthio]-3-quinoxalinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester, hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-3-quinoxalinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester (3.551 g., 0.015 mole) and 2.405 g. (0.015 mole) of 1,3-di-n-propylthiourea were dissolved in acetone and heated at reflux for 11/2 hours. The solution was concentrated to a volume of 50 ml. and cooled. A small amount of solid was removed by filtration. The filtrate was further concentrated to a volume of 25 ml. and ether was added to turbidity. After the reaction mixture had been cooled the yellow solid was collected by filtration to give 2.77 g. (46.6%) of the product, m.p. 129°-130° C.
