Abstract

An electrochemical approach for the Minisci-type acylation of quinoxalines with α-keto acids as the acyl radical precursors is reported. With the assistance of TFA as the key additive, acylated quinoxalines were constructed in synthetically useful yields. The distinguishable features of this electrochemical protocol include catalyst- and external oxidant-free conditions, and operational simplicity.

Key words

electrosynthesis - Minisci reaction - acyl radical - α-keto acids - anodic oxidation
