Reaction Steps

6,7-Dichloro-2,3-dimethoxyquinoxaline (25 g, 0.096 mol) was added, portionwise, to fuming nitric acid (0.113 L) which had been pre-cooled to −5° C. The solution was allowed to warm to 10° C. and stirring continued for 2 hours. The solution was then poured into an ice/water mixture (0.5 L). The slurry was filtered and the solid was washed with water and isopropanol (0.05 L) to give 6,7-dichloro-2,3-dimethoxy-5-nitroquinoxaline(27 g, 92%) as a beige solid. m.p. 184-186° C.
