A series of novel "drug-like" small molecules based on quinoxaline containing amino substitution at C-2 were synthesized. All these molecules were prepared either via the reaction of 2-phenyl-3-(piperazin-1-yl) quinoxaline with acyl bromides or benzyl bromides or various carboxylic acids or via the reaction of 2-chloro-3-phenylquinoxaline with various amines. The structures of these novel compounds were confirmed by spectral analysis. The strategy used is simple and efficient and afforded good yields of quinoxaline derivatives.
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.
