Abstract:
Substituted benzene‐1,2‐diamine reacted with various α‐keto esters at 50° under mild conditions for 15 min using H2O as reaction medium, providing a variety of 3‐substituted quinoxalinone derivatives in excellent yields. The reaction was instantaneous, and products were isolated by simple filtration.
