Ethyl orthopropionate → 4-Chloro-1-ethyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-3-hydrazinoquinoxaline (4.5 g., 0.023 mole), the product of Example 1, was stirred with triethyl orthopropionate (50 ml.) at 100° C. for one hour. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and the white precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with cyclohexane to give 4.5 g. (85% yield) of 4-chloro-1-ethyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline, m.p. 158°-160° C. Mass spectrum: m/e, 232 (P).
