Procedure

600 mg of this ester were converted into the free acid by reaction with a solution of 1.5 g of potassium hydroxide in 25 ml of ethanol and 10 ml of water at 50° C. during 4 hours. After recrystallization from ethyl acetate/hexane, there were obtained 450 mg of p-[(E)-2-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,4-dimethyl-6-quinoxalinyl)propenyl]benzoic acid in the form of orange crystals, melting point 203°-205° C.
