Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 178437926, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture consisting of 3.3 g. (0.013 mole) of 4,7-dimethoxy-1-ethyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline, 33 ml. of 1N hydrochloric acid and 99 ml. of glacial acetic acid was refluxed for a period of two hours. Upon completion of this step, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and poured over ice/water. The resulting mixture was then stirred for a period of 20 minutes and extracted with ethyl acetate. The latter extract next washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous magnisium sulfate. After removal of the drying agent by means of filtration and the solvent by means of evaporation under reduced pressure, there was finally obtained a yellowish solid product which was washed with water and air-dried to constant weight to ultimately afford 1.87 g. (67%) of pure 1-ethyl-4-hydroxy-7-methoxy-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline, m.p. >250° C.
