Some simple reactions using commercially available chemicals were used in the preparation of new biologically remarkable quinoxaline 1,4-dioxide derivatives. Several steps performed on 4-chloro-2-nitroaniline resulted in a quinoxaline 1,4-dioxide derivative, which reacted with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal (DMF-DMA) to produce an enamine. Transamination of this enamine with anilines gave the fused 1,2-dihydropyrido[3,4-b]quinoxaline 5,10-dioxide derivatives via an addition-elimination mechanism. Basic condensation reaction of quinoxaline active methyl afforded unexpected decarboxylated arylidene derivatives by using different aromatic aldehydes. Bridged oxadiazol-2-yl derivatives were obtained from the reaction of a hydrazide derivative with carbon disulfide and p-nitrobenzoic acid respectively. Whereas, acidic condensation of that hydrazide with aromatic aldehydes afforded the arylidene hydrazides.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
