“…Also silicasupported reagent, H2SO4 / SiO2 for its ease of preparation, low cost, high efficiency and environmental benignness, 6 has already been used in cylcoadditions, 7 Beckmann rearrangements, 8 glycosylations, 9 condensations, 10 esterification, 11 acetylation of (+)cedrol compound, 12 synthesis of 2,4,5-triaryl-1H-imidazoles, 13 and as catalyst in organic transformations: a comprehensive review. 14 On the other hand, during our continuing efforts to develop convenient approaches to synthesize heterocycle compounds, 15 we revealed that H2SO4/SiO2 was a high-efficient and recyclable catalyst for preparing the quinoxaline derivatives in a synthetically practical procedure (stoichiometric ratios of starting materials and short reaction times) with relatively widely functional group compatibility in ethylene glycol at ambient temperature (Scheme 1).…”
