Reaction Steps

2-(4-Methoxycarbonylmethylamino-3-nitrophenyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-isoindole-1,3-dione (2.06 g) was dissolved in a mixture of acetic acid (20 ml) and ethyl acetate (20 ml), and the resultant solution was dropwise added to a mixture of 5% aqueous acetic acid (10 ml) and iron powder (4 g) at 70° to 80° C., followed by stirring at the same temperature for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool, diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with sodium bicarbonate solution, dried and concentrated to give 2-(3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinoxalinon-7-yl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-isoindole-1,3-dione (1.3 g). m.p., 208°-209° C.
