o-phenylenediamine
and 4-benzoyl-1,2-diaminobenzene react with ethyl bromoacetate in basic
medium under mild reaction conditions to give directly
1H-quinoxalin-2-one (2) and 7-benzoyl-1H-quinoxalin-2-one (4),
respectively. Alkylation at the nitrogen atoms of
7-benzoyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-quinoxalin-2-one (3) and compound 4 has been
also carried out.
Key words:
o-phenylenediamines, 3,4-dihydro-1H-quinoxalin-2-ones,
1H-quinoxalin-2-ones, ethyl bromoacetate. |
