One-Pot, Green and Efficient Synthesis of Pyrrolo[1,2-α]Quinoxalines in Water

A Review of the Synthetic Strategies toward Dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]Pyrazinones

Dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazinone rings are a class of heterocycles present in a wide range of bioactive natural products and analogues thereof. As a direct result of their bioactivity, the synthesis of this privileged class of compounds has been extensively studied. This review provides an overview of these synthetic pathways. The literature is covered up until 2020 and is organized according to the specific strategies used to construct the scaffold: fusing a pyrazinone to an existing pyrrole, employing a pyrazinone-first strategy, an array of multicomponent reactions and some miscellaneous reactions.

One-Pot Synthesis of Thiazolo[3,4-a]Quinoxalines from 1,2-Diamines, Aryl Isothiocyanates and Ethyl Bromopyruvate

Some hitherto unreported thiazolo[3,4- a]quinoxaline derivatives have been synthesised in excellent yields via a one-pot, three-component reaction of benzene-1,2-diamines, ethyl bromopyruvate and aryl isothiocyanates in MeCN, for the first time. The protocol avoids the use of any catalysts or chromatographic separations and provides a wide range of novel thiazolo[3,4- a]quinoxalines.
