2-Methyl-5-nitroquinoxaline → HCID 12666713, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-methyl-5-nitroquinoxaline (3.67 g) in MeOH (350 mL) was added dropwise a 20% aqueous titanium trichloride (92.9 g) at room temperature. After the addition, the mixture was further stirred for one hour, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resultant was neutralized by addition of aqueous sodium carbonate solution, and the mixture was extracted four times with ethyl acetate (150 mL). The organic layers were combined, and dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform) to give 2-methyl-5-aminoquinoxaline (2.44 g,79%) as orange crystals.
