Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-chloro-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,2-dihydroquinoxalin-2-one (10.0 g) and potassium cyanide (2.5 g) in dry dimethylformamide (100 ml) was heated at 140° C. for 24 hours. The mixture was added to water and the product was extracted into chloroform. Evaporation of the solvent and crystallisation of the residue from ethanol gave the title compound (6.3 g) mp 232°-235° C.
