Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (±)-6,7-dichloro-2,3-dimethoxy-5-[3-methoxymethyl-5-(3-pyridyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl]quinoxaline (3.0 g, 6.7 mmol), 2M aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (10 mL) and 1,4-dioxane (50 mL) was heated under reflux for 9 hours, cooled, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in 1M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and acidified to pH 4.5 with concentrated hydrochloric acid to afford a thick white precipitate. This was collected by filtration and washed with water to give (±)-6,7-dichloro-5-[3-methoxymethyl-5-(3-pyridyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl]-2,3(1H,4H)-quinoxalinedione (2.0 g, 68%) as an off-white solid, mp 230-232° C.
