Reaction Steps

The 1-(2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]1,4-dioxin-6-yl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihy droquinoxaline-3-carbonyl chloride thus obtained was dissolved in dichloromethane (30 mL), and this solution was added dropwise at 0° C. over 5 minutes to a solution prepared by dissolving 4.2 g (37 mmol) of 1,3-cyclohexanedione and 6.2 g (61 mmol) of triethylamine in dichloromethane (30 mL). The reaction solution was returned to room temperature and stirred for 3 hours, and then acetone cyanohydrin (1 mL) and 6.2 g (61 mmol) of triethylamine were added thereto. The mixture was stirred for 12 hours at room temperature. After confirming the completion of the reaction, water (50 mL) was added to the reaction solution, the reaction solution was adjusted to pH 12 using a 10% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, and the reaction solution was separated. The aqueous layer was adjusted to pH 1 by adding 6 N hydrochloric acid, and then the aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane. The obtained organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was washed with methanol, to obtain 5.2 g (yield: 40%) of 1-(2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]1,4-dioxin-6-yl)-3-(2-hydroxy-6-oxo-1-cyclohexenecarbonyl)-quinoxalin-2(1H)-one as milky white crystals.
