Reaction Steps

Monoethylamine was bubbled through a solution of 4-chloro-1-ethyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline (1.2 g., 0.005 mole), the product of Example 4, in N,N-dimethylformamide (50 ml.) at 0° C. for about 2 minutes. The clear solution was stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes and at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was next poured over ice and the precipitate was separated by filtration, washed with water and air dried. Recrystallization from ethanol then afforded 1.0 g. (83% yield) of pure 1-ethyl-4-ethylamino-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline as white solid (m.p. 235°-238° C.).
