. Synthesis and ¹ H-NMR. Spectra of 2, 3-Dimethyl-1-phenyl-6-X-quinoxlinium Perchlorates The synthesis of the title compounds ( 5 ) which have been useful as precursors for a lot of conventional and new-type dyes 2-8] has yet been limited to examples with X?H 2] 3] 11] 15] and with electron-donating 4] 12] or at best slightly electron-accepting 1] 6] substituents X and R. We now describe a method suitable even for compounds 5 with strongly electron-accepting substituents: N-monosubstituted o-phenylendiamines 4 , were condensed with 2, 3-butanedione and perchloric acid in mixed solvents containing an excess of diethyl ether. The products - mostly substituted at position 6 of the quinoxalinium ring - are chracterized by ¹H-NMR. spectra, elemental analyses and in most cases by isolation of the corresponding bases 6 . Correlations of chemical shifts with Hammett's σ_p 18] are given by equations (1)-(5).
