Paper
A transition metal-free process for the regioselective synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines under mild conditions in one-pot is described. The reaction afforded a variety of products in good to excellent yields. Indolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines were also synthesized from indole-2-carboxamides under the same conditions.
