Synthesis of ethers and esters of 1,4-di-N-oxide of 2,3-bis(hydroxymethyl)quinoxalm under conditions of interfacial catalysis

Esters and ethers of the 1,4-di-N-oxide of 2,3-bis(hydroxymethyl)quinoyaline have been obtained under conditions of interfacial catalysis in a chloroform-water system. The catalytic activities of tetrabutylammonium bromide and cetyltriethylammonium bromide have been compared in the synthesis of the acetate, benzoate, and 4-nitrobenzoate of the 1,4-di-N-oxide of 2,3-bis(hydroxymethyl)quinoxaline.St. Petersburg State Technological Institute, St. Petersburg 198013.
