“…Quinoxaline‐2,3‐dione and their derivatives play an important role in organic synthesis, pharmaceutical chemistry and materials science . Traditionally, N‐functionalized quinoxaline‐2,3‐diones are prepared through base‐promoted condensation reaction between mono N‐substituted 1,2‐diaminobenzenes and oxalyl chloride (or ethyl chloroglyoxalate) (Scheme a) . However, from a practical and eco‐friendly point of view, those procedures still suffer from some drawbacks, such as the difficulties of preparation and isolation of mono N‐substituted substrates, the usage of toxic oxalyl chloride and volatile organic solvent, and harsh reaction conditions.…”
