Reaction Steps

7-(5-Chloro-2-methoxyphenyl)-8-methoxycarbonyl-1,3,3-trimethyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-quinoxalin-2-one (Reference Compound No. 10-1, 3.81 g, 9.80 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous dichloromethane (30 mL), boron tribromide (7.62 g, 30.4 mmol) was added thereto at −78° C., and then stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water (500 mL), ethyl acetate (500 mL) was added thereto and partitioned. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine (200 mL), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (50 mL), 60% sodium hydride (23.1 mg, 0.578 mmol) was added thereto, and then stirred at 70° C. overnight. 60% sodium hydride (31.2 mg, 0.780 mmol) was added more thereto and stirred at 80° C. overnight. After cooling down, ethyl acetate (200 mL), diethylether (200 mL) and water (300 mL) were added and partitioned. The organic layer was washed with water (200 mL) and saturated brine (200 mL) successively, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was filtered with ethyl acetate/hexane (1/4, 30 mL) to give the titled reference compound (2.04 g) as a pale yellow solid. (Yield 61%)
