Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 6,6a,7,8,9,10-hexahydro-6-oxo-5H-pyrido[1,2-a]quinoxaline-3-carboxylate (0.762 g, 0.29 mmole) and LiOH (0.25 g) were suspended in MeOH (5 mL), THF (5 ml) and Water (2 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction was evaporated to near dryness, and 2N HCl was added to adjust the PH about 2. The solid was filtered and dried to provide 6,6a,7,8,9,10-hexahydro-6-oxo-5H-pyrido[1,2-a]quinoxaline-3-carboxylic acid as white solid (0.72 g, 100%).
