Trifluoroacetic acid → (7-methoxy-2-oxoquinoxalin-1(2H)-yl)acetaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into 200 mL of an 80% aqueous trifluoroacetic acid solution, 13g of 1-(1,3-dioxolan-2-ylmethyl)-7-methoxyquinoxalin-2(1H)-one was dissolved, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, the reaction mixture was alkalified with an aqueous saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with an aqueous saturated sodium chloride solution, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to obtain (7-methoxy-2-oxoquinoxalin-1(2H)-yl)acetaldehyde.
