Reactions of 2,3-bishydroxyimino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoxalines and 2,3-bishydroxyimino-2,3-dihydro-4H-1,4-benzoxazines with ethyl chloroformate

Bishydroxyiminoquinoxalines 3a-b react with ethyl chloroformate 4 to afford the furazano3,4-b]quinoxalines 5a-b . Bishydroxyiminobenzoxazines 6a-c on treatment with 4 are converted into the fused oxadiazolones 7a-c and 8a-c along with the bisethoxycarbonyloxyimino-derivatives 9a-c . From the reactions of 4 with the oxanilide dioximes 12a-c compounds 13a-c and 14a-b are obtained.
