4-Chloro-1,2-diaminobenzene → HCID 178517169, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture consisting of 100 g. (0.07 mole) of 4-chloro-1,2-phenylenediamine and 750 ml. of diethyl oxalate was refluxed overnight and for a period of approximately 16 hours. Upon completion of this step, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature (~20° C.) filtered and the recovered product subsequently washed with ethanol and air-dried to constant weight to ultimately afford 140 g. of pure 2,3-dihydroxy-6-chloroquinoxaline, m.p. >260° C.
