“…Out of several methods of synthesis from different starting materials, the major precursors for the synthesis of quinoxalines are 1,2‐diketones, phenacyl bromides and o ‐PDs. The catalysts or reagents used for the synthesis of quinoxalines includes I 2 , Ga(OTf) 3 , CAN, CuSO 4 .5H 2 O, polyaniline sulfate, bismuth(III), SbCl 5 /SiO 2 , Zn 2+ ‐K10‐clay, glycerol.H 2 O, PTSA, tween 40 and graphite . Few methods are reported from α‐hydroxy ketones with o ‐PD using cat.…”
