Abstract
Microwave irradiation in solvent-free conditions induces cycloaddition reactions of pyrazine o-quinodimethane intermediates with electron-rich dienophiles within 10-15 min to afford quinoxaline derivatives in acceptable yields.

Experimental procedure: A mixture of
2,3-bis(dibromomethyl)pyrazine
[5]
(1) (150 mg, 0.35 mmol), NaI (265 mg, 1.77
mmol), DMF (0.1 mL) and the corresponding dienophile (1.25 mmol)
was placed in an open vessel and irradiated at 60 W in a focused
microwave reactor (CixMO model RF46280)
[8]
for
10-15 min (final temperature 90 ºC). The crude
reaction product was purified by flash column chromatography (silica
gel, Merck type 60 230-400 mesh) using hexane/ethyl
acetate as the eluent to obtain the adduct. For example:
