GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

A simple and efficient protocol has been developed for the synthesis of quinoxalines. In the synthesis, the reaction of 1,2-phenylenediamines and phenacyl bromide were carried out using pyridine as a catalyst in THF at room temperature to give quinoxalines. This method is applicable to a variety of substrates to afford the corresponding derivatives in excellent yields.
