Abstract

A series of quinoxaline derivatives was synthesized by the reaction of 3-(ω-bromoacetyl)coumarins with substituted 1,2-diaminobenzenes in the absence of a catalyst under microwave conditions. Reasonable yields of the products, environmentally benign and convenient workup are the advantages of this method.

Key words

Typical Procedure for the Synthesis of Quinoxaline 3a 3-(ω-Bromoacetyl)coumarin 1a (1 mmol) and 1,2-diaminobenzene 2a (1 mmol) were mixed in EtOH (2 mL) and sealed with a cap containing a septum. The loaded vial was then placed into the cavity of the microwave reactor and heated at 100 ˚C for 8 min (as indicated by TLC). After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was then allowed to cool to r.t., resulting in the precipitation of the solid product. The product was filtered off and dried. The crude product was subjected to 95% EtOH for recrystallization to afford the pure product; mp 198.8-199.0 ˚C.
