DMSO/ t BuONa/O2-mediated efficient syntheses of diverse quinoxalines through α-imino radicals

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Apr 27;59(35):5217-5220. doi: 10.1039/d3cc00086a.

Abstract

Herein, we describe an efficient method involving the synthesis of diverse quinoxalines using the DMSO/tBuONa/O2 system as a single-electron oxidant to form α-imino radicals and nitrogen radicals for the direct construction of C-N bonds. This methodology provides a novel approach to form α-imino radicals with good reactivity.
