Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-bromo-2-chloroquinoxaline (50 g, 0.2 mol, 1.0 eq.) in CH3CN (200 mL) were added morpholine (89 g, 1.02 mol, 5.0 eq.) and K2CO3 (85 g, 0.61 mol, 3.0 eq). The resulting mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 2 h, then cooled and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and the residue was re-crystallized from EA to afford 4-(7-bromoquinoxalin-2-yl)morpholine (59 g, 98.3%).
