Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1 g (4.46 mmol) 1-benzyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline in 10 ml of dimethylformamide was treated with 3.14 ml (18.15 mmol) of N-Ethyl-N-isopropylpropan-2-amine, and subsequently 863 mg (9.23 mmol) 2-chloroacetamide was added. The reaction mixture was heated in a microwave system at 100° C. for four hours. The resulting mixture was quenched with water and extracted once with ethylacetate. The aqueous phase was set to pH 10 with sodium hydroxide solution and extracted 3× with ethylacetate. The combined organic extracts were dried with magnesium sulfate, evaporated till dryness and directly purified by column chromatography on silica (eluent: starting with heptane and then up to 100% ethylacetate) to yield 1.224 g of the title compound.
