With N-Bromosuccinimide;dibenzoyl peroxide; In tetrachloromethane; for 48h;Reflux;
A mixture of 6-methylquinoxaline (2.0 g, 13.9 mmol), N-bromosuccinimide (3.0 g, 16.9 mmol), and benzoyl peroxide (411 mg, 1.7 mmol) in anhydrous carbon tetrachloride (50 mL) was stirred at reflux for 2 days. Dichloromethane (50 mL) was added after cooling to room temperature. The mixture was extracted with 1 N NaOH (1 x 100 mL) and brine (1 x 100 mL). The organic extract was recovered, dried over MgSO4, filtered, evaporated, and dried in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (0-30% EtOAc/hexanes), affording 6- (bromomethyl)quinoxaline (1.10 g, 35% yield).

Intermediate 17: 6-(bromomethyl)quinoxaline A mixture of 6-methylquinoxaline (300 mg), NBS (370 mg) and benzoyl peroxide (5.04 mg) in carbon tetrachloride (8 ml.) was heated at reflux under an atmosphere of argon for 18 hr. The reaction mixture was cooled to RT, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a brown oil. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (Biotage SP4, 40+M column, 20-100% EtOAc / isohexane. The fractions containing product were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (243 mg) as a white solid, m/z [M+H]+: 223.1 / 225.0. Retention time 0.80 min (LC/MS method 3).

Example 292 Synthesis of 6-(bromomethyl)quinoxaline. To a solution of 6-methylquinoxaline (5 g, 34.7 mmol) in DCE (100 mL) was added NBS (7.12 g, 40 mmol) and benzoyl peroxide (840 mg, 3.47 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 85 C. for 16 h under nitrogen. H2O (100 mL) was added, and the mixture was extracted with DCM (150 mL*3). The combine organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product which was purified by silica gel chromatography (PE/EtOAc=1/1) to give 6-(bromomethyl)quinoxaline as a yellow solid. (5.5 g, 71%). ESI-MS [M+H]+: 224.1.

Example 9 6-Bromomethylquinoxaline: A mixture of 6-methylquinoxaline (1.5 g, 10.4 mmol), N-bromosuccinimide (2.2 g, 12.5 mmol) and benzoylperoxide (0.30 g, 1.25 mmol) in benzene (35 mL) was stirred rapidly and heated to reflux for 5 h. Upon cooling the mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (25 mL), washed with 1N sodium hydroxide solution (50 mL) and saturated sodium chloride solution (50 mL). The organic layer was dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to a crystalline solid (2.5 g, 77% desired product, 23% alpha,alpha-dibrominated product as determined by 1H NMR). The mixture was used in subsequent reactions.

6-Bromomethyl-quinoxaline: A mixture of 6-methylquinoxaline (1.5 g, 10.4 mmol), N-bromosuccinimide (2.2 g, 12.5 mmol) and benzoylperoxide (0.30 g, 1.25 mmol) in benzene (35 mL) was stirred rapidly and heated to reflux for 5 h. Upon cooling, the mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (25 mL), washed with IN sodium hydroxide solution (50 mL) and saturated sodium chloride solution (50 mL). The organic layer was dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to a crystalline solid (2.5 g, 77% desired product, 23% alpha,alpha-dibrominated product as determined by 1H NMR).

With N-Bromosuccinimide;2,2'-azobis(isobutyronitrile); In tetrachloromethane; for 2h;Heating / reflux;
6-Bromomethylquinoxaline (1) (De Selms, R. C.; Greaves, R. J., Scheigh, W. R. J. Het. Chem. 1974, 11, 595); Bromomethylquinoxaline is unstable and decomposes when stored for long time. It should be used up within a day or two of its preparation. To a clear solution of 6-methylquinoxaline (60 g, 0.416 mol) in 550 mL of CCl4 was added in one portion solid NBS (Aldrich, 81.5 g, 0.458 mol, 1.1 eq) and AlBN (Aldrich, 1.6 g, 9.7 mmol, 2.3 mol %). The resulting mixture was heated at reflux for 2 hr and cooled to rt. The precipitate of succinimide was removed by filtration. The filtrate was evaporated on rotary evaporator until solid begins to crystallize out of the solution. Remaining mixture was left at rt for 2 hr, then the crystallized product was filtered off, washed with small amount of hexanes-CCl4 mixture (ca. 20:1) and dried in vacuum. The isolated solid contained just traces of the di-bromo side-product and was used in the following step without further purification. Yield 33.3 g (36%) as colorless crystals.

Example 3 Preparation of a Solid Sample of 6-bromomethyl-quinoxaline In a 100 ml flask, 6-methyl-quinoxaline (2.5 g, 17.4 mmol) was dissolved together with N-bromosuccinimide (4.63 g, 19 mmol) and benzoyl peroxide (0.3 g, 1.24 mmol) in 70 g of 1,2-dichloroethane. The solution was refluxed for 150 minutes and analyzed. The concentrations of the reactants and some of their molar ratios are shown below: The solution was cooled in the freezer overnight and the solid residue was separated by filtration. The solid was washed with pentane and the washings were combined with the liquid fraction. The clear reddish solution was then vacuum dried to give an orange solid that was used in the preparation of 6-hydroxymethyl-quinoxaline.
