Procedure

A solution of 2-oxo-propionaldehyde (0.19 mL, 1.20 mmol) and 4-fluoro-benzene-1,2-diamine (150 mg, 1.19 mmol) in water (1.3 mL) was placed in a microwave tube and heated for 1 min. at 150 W. Then the reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted twice with AcOEt. The organic phase was washed with water, brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated. The crude residue was purified by flash chromatography (cyclohexane/AcOEt 4:1) to yield 154 mg (0.95 mmol, 80%) of 6-fluoro-2-methyl-quinoxaline.
