Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-cyclopropyl-4-hydroxy-1,4-dihydro-quinoxaline-2,3-dione (31.0 g, 0.14 mol, 1.0 equiv) in DMF (250 mL) was added triphenylphosphine (55.9 g, 0.21 mol, 1.5 equiv; [CAS RN 603-35-0]) and the reaction mixture stirred at 135° C. for 4 h. The reaction mixture was cooled down to 0° C. and dichloromethane (400 mL) was added. The suspension was stirred for 30 min, filtered and washed with dichloromethane (200 mL) providing 23.8 g (83%) of the title compound as a white solid. MS (ISN): 203.1 [M+H]+.
