Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.8 g of imidazo-[1,2-a]-quinoxaline-2-carboxylic acid, 0.7 g of carbonyldiimidazole and 40 ml of dimethylformamide was stirred at 90° C. for 30 minutes and 0.35 g of anhydrous 5-amino-tetrazole were added to the resulting clear orange solution. The mixture was stirred at 90° C. for one hour and was cooled in a refrigerator. The mixture was filtered and the recovered product was washed well with ethyl acetate and dried in vacuo to obtain 1.17 g of N-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-imidazo-[1,2-a]-quinoxaline-2-carboxamide which after crystallization from dimethylformamide was a white crystalline solid melting at 280°-281° C. with decomposition.
