Novel 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition of Quinoxalinium N-Ylide to Alkene promoted by MnO2: a New Approach to Synthesis of Pyrrolo[1,2-a]-quinoxalines
Abstract
A novel approach to synthesize pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines was developed successfully by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a quinoxalinium N-ylide to alkenes in the presence of MnO2 under very convenient conditions and with moderate yields (40–52%).
