Dimethylformamide → Quinoxaline-6-carbonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid (438 mg, 2.51 mmol) in benzene (16 mL) was added oxalyl chloride (0.26 mL, 3.02 mmol) and anhydrous DMF (0.1 mL). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes after which the mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The resulting yellow solid was azeotroped 3× with toluene and the product was used immediately without further purification.
