Abstract

Abstract : 3-Alkylquinoxalin-2(1 H )-ones are synthesized via direct alkylation of quinoxalin-2(1 H )-ones at the C3 position under visible light irradiation. Abstract : A simple and efficient method for the visible light induced direct carbon alkylation of quinoxalin-2(1 H )-ones at the C3 position is described. This protocol employs cheap and readily available phenyliodine(iii ) dicarboxylates as the alkylation reagents to conduct decarboxylative radical coupling reaction with quinoxalin-2(1 H )-ones. The process exhibits excellent compatibility to functional groups and provides a convenient and selective access to various 3-alkylquinoxalin-2(1 H )-ones in good yields.
