Abstract

Various biologically important quinoxaline derivatives were efficiently synthesized in excellent yields using inexpensive, nontoxic, and readily available bench top chemical, iodine in catalytic amount (10 mol %). Besides this, a systematic study was carried out to evaluate parameters such as solvent and catalyst loading. Several aromatic as well as aliphatic 1,2-diketones and aromatic 1,2-diamines, such as substituted phenylene diamines, tetra amines were further subjected to condensation using catalytic amounts of iodine to afford the products in excellent yield.
