Procedure

3-Fluoro-2-methylaniline was acetylated with acetic acid anhydride to give 3-fluoro-2-methyl-N-acetylaniline. Displacing fluorine of the 3-fluoro-2-methyl-N-acetylaniline with methylamine followed by nitration, deacetylation and reduction of the nitro group with palladium or charcoal gave 1,2-diamino-3-methyl-4-methylaminobenzene. Condensation of 4,4′-dibromo-benzil with the 1,2-diamino-3-methyl-4-methylaminobenzene in refluxing methanol gave 2,3-bis(4-bromophenyl)-5-methyl-6-methylaminoquinoxaline which upon acetylation with acetic acid anhydride, nitration, reduction with palladium on charcoal and cyclization gave the title compound.
