Abstract

Abstract Various biologically important quinoxalines were efficiently synthesized in excellent yields via one-pot reaction between 1, 2-diaminobenzenes and internal alkynes. The method utilizes inexpensive and readily available hypervalent iodine source, such as (diacetoxyiodo) benzene (PhI (OAc) 2) and proved to be a better alternative as compared to expensive transition metal catalysts. Quinoxaline 4i [(2-phenyl-3-(3, 4, 5-trimethoxy phenyl ...
