Water → 8-Acetyl-1-cyclohexylimidazo[1,5-a]quinoxalin-4(5H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 354 mg of 1-cyclohexyl-N,O-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5-dihydroimidazo[1,5-a]quinoxaline-8-hydroxamic acid as synthesized in above Example 142 in 10 mL of tetrahydrofuran, 1.33 mL of 3M methylmagnesium bromide/tetrahydrofuran solution was added, followed by 3.7 hours' stirring under nitrogen atmosphere and addition of 30 mL of water. The organic layer extracted with ethyl acetate-tetrahydrofuran mixed solvent was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent therein was distilled off. The crude product was heat-suspended in 10 mL of methanol and purified, to provide 106 mg of the title compound.
