Pyridine → Ethyl N-(6,7-difluoro-2-methoxyquinoxalin-3-yl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Amino-6,7-difluoro-3-methoxyquinoxaline (550 mg, 2.60 mmol) and ethyl chloroformate (564 mg, 5.20 mmol) were dissolved in dichloromethane (50 ml) at room temperature and thereto pyridine (411 mg, 5.20 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 13 hours and concentrated under the reduced pressure to remove the solvent, and purified by SiO2 column chromatography. Extraction of the residue with a n-hexane:ethyl acetate (3:1) mixture and concentration gave 440 mg of the titled compound (yield, 60%).
