Reaction Steps

Aqueous sodium hydroxide (1M, 145 ml, 145 mmol) was added to a suspension of 6,7-dichloro-5-di(methanesulphonyl)amino-2,3-dimethoxy-quinoxaline (12.28 g, 28.6 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The resulting orange solution was treated with 2M hydrochloric acid (to pH 3) and the solid which precipitated was filtered off, washed with water and ether, and dried under reduced pressure at 80° C. to give N-(6,7-dichloro-2,3-dimethoxyquinoxalin-5-yl)methanesulphonamide (8.46 g, 84%) as a white solid, mp 225°-227° C.
