Participants

Reaction Steps

615 mg of (7-fluoro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,3-dioxoquinoxalin-1-yl)methanephosphonic acid diethyl ester is mixed in 60 ml of methylene chloride with 743 mg of nitronium tetrafluoroborate. The batch is stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. It is mixed with 50 ml of water and, after separation of the organic phase, it is extracted three times with methylene chloride. The collected organic phase is dried, filtered and concentrated by evaporation. The residue is chromatographed on silica gel with methylene chloride:ethanol=10:1. 350 mg of (6-nitro-7-fluoro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,3-dioxoquinoxalin-1-yl)-methanephosphonic acid diethyl ester is obtained.
