0.1 mole of a substituted o-phenylenediamine in 350 ml of 35% H2SOh was stirred at 7,5' for 18 hr. The solid which formed on heating was removed by filtration and dissolved in H20. The solution was adjusted t'o pH 8 with NH40H and the solid which formed was removed by filtration, washed thoroughly wit,h H20, and recrystallized to yield the product. 6,743ubstituted 2-Chloro-3-(2-pyridyl)quinoxalines (IV) (Table I).-A slurry of 0.4 mole of a 6,7-subst'ituted 3-(2-pyridyl)2-quinoxalinol in 200 ml of PoC13 was heated under reflux for 7 hr. The resulting solution was cooled, poured slowly into 4 1. of iced HzO, and made basic with ",OH. The product was removed by filtration and recrystallized. 2-1 [(Dialkylamino)alkyI]amino 1-342-pyridyl)quinoxalines ( V ) (Table I).-A solution of 0.01 mole of a 6,7-substituted 2chloro-3-( 2-pyridy1)quinoxaline and 0.02 mole of diamine in 50 nil of Et20 and 15 ml of C,H, was held at' 5' for 24-48 hr. The solid amine hydrochloride which formed was removed by filtration. The ether solution was washed successively with HZO, dilute NaOH, and HzO, and then dried over NazS04. To this solution was added i-PrOH saturated with gaseous HCl to give the hydrochloride salt of t'he product which was removed by filt,ration and recrystallized.

antimalarial drug bis(p-aminophenyl) sulfone (DDS) are of interest to us in our program on antimalarial agents because of their structural relationship to DDS and 3-piperonylsydnone. The latter compound was active against Plasmodium beryhei in the m0use.l The logical way to prepare I a seemed to be the reduction of 3- { p - [ (4-nitrophenyl)sulfonyl]phenyl]sydnone (Ib),

which we had synthesized in an eight-step reaction sequence. Another approach would be the hydrolysis of 3-( p - [(4-acetamidophenyl)sulfonyl]phenyl}sydnone (IC)or the replacement of C1 with NH, in 3-{p-[(4chlorophenyl)sulfonyl]phenyl ] sydnone (Id). However the sydnone ring of ICand I d should be opened under the hydrolytic conditions or the amination reaction conditions. Thus the reduction of the nitrosydnone I b was chosen for the preparation of the aminosydnone Ia. The more readily available 3-(p-nitropheny1)sydnone (IIa) appeared to be a good model for this reduction study before we initiated any work with the nitro compound Ib. A search of the literature revealed that although 3-(pnitropheny1)sydnone (IIa) is known, 3-(p-aminopheny1)sydnorie (IIb) has not been described. Similarly, 3-(p-nitrophenyl)-l-methylsydnone (IIc) is known, but 3-(p-aminophenyl)-4-methylsydnone(IId) is unknown. (1) \II
