Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of tetramethylpiperidine (16.4 mL) in dry THF (100 mL) was cooled to −78° C. and treated dropwise with n-BuLi (2.5M in Hex; 39 mL). The solution was further stirred at −78° C. for 30 min. A solution of 6-fluoro-2,3-dimethoxy-quinoxaline (15.6 g; prepared from the commercially available 2,3-dichloro-6-fluoroquinoxaline according to Egyptian Journal of Chemistry (1980), Volume Date 1977, 20, 427-39) in dry THF (450 mL) was cooled to −78° C., treated dropwise with the first solution and further stirred at −78° C. for 30 min. The resulting reaction mixture was treated with DMF (11.56 mL) and further stirred at −78° C. for 15 min. The reaction mixture was poured onto a mixture of a sat. NH4Cl solution and ice and extracted with ether. The org. layer was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, evaporated under reduced pressure and crystallised from Hex/EA affording a light yellow solid (12.5 g; 71% yield).
