Reaction Steps

(4aRS,5SR,8aRS)-1-Benzyl-5-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)perhydroquinoxaline (325 mg, 1.09 mmol) was dissolved in absolute CH2Cl2 (35 ml). 2-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)acetyl chloride (291 mg, 1.3 mmol) was added dropwise and the mixture was stirred at room temperature. After 30 minutes, 2 N NaOH (35 ml) was added and the mixture was stirred vigorously for 2 hours. The aqueous phase was separated off. The organic phase was extracted by shaking three times with HCl (1 N). The aqueous phase was then brought to pH 8 with NaOH (2 N) and extracted by shaking three times with CH2Cl2. The organic phases were dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated in vacuo. The product was obtained as a pale yellow solid.
