Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of ethyl 3-(7-ethyl-4-oxo-4,5-dihydroimidazo-[1,5-a]-quinoxalin-1-yl)propanoate as synthesized in above Example 184, 50 mg and ethanol 3 mL, 1N sodium hydroxide solution 1.2 mL was added and heated under reflux for 2 hours. The reaction liquid was allowed to cool off, and to which 1N hydrochloric acid 1.2 mL was added.
