Rapid Synthesis of 2‐Alkanol‐substituted Pyrrolo[2,3‐b]quinoxalines from Propargylic Alcohols via Copper‐free Sonogashira Coupling Reaction at Room Temperature
Abstract:A practical and efficient procedure is established for the synthesis of 2‐alkanol‐substituted pyrrolo[2,3‐b]quinoxalines by the reaction of N‐alkyl‐3‐chloroquinoxaline‐2‐amines with propargylic alcohols. The reaction is carried out in the absence of any copper salt but in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 at room temperature. The Sonogashira coupling reaction step in this procedure is fast, producing clean products with high yields without contamination by unwanted homocoupling Glaser reaction… Show more
