Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

KOH (6.0 g, 107 mmol, 10 equiv) was added to 8-(3,5-dimethoxy-phenyl)-quinoxaline-5-carbonitrile (Step 179.3) (3.12 g, 10.7 mmol) in ethylene glycol (30 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 150° C. for 3 h (a solution was obtained), allowed to cool to rt, diluted with Et2O/H2O, and extracted with Et2O. The aqueous phase was acidified to pH 5 by addition of HCl. Vacuum filtration of the resulting suspension afforded 3.3 g of the title compound as a yellow solid: ESI-MS: 311 [M+H]+; tR=4.34 min (System 1).
