To a stirred and cooled (5° C.) solution of 20 parts of intermediate 2, namely phenyl (6-quinoxalinyl)methanone in 160 parts of methanol were added portionwise 3.2 parts of sodium tetrahydroborate. Upon completion, the reaction mixture was poured into water and the product was extracted with dichloromethane.
