Abstract
The 5-nitro derivatives of 6-haloquinoxalines have been efficiently synthesized by condensation of α-dicarbonyls with 4-bromo- or 4-chloro-3-nitro-1,2-benzenediamines. The novel diamines were readily obtained by reductive cleavage of 5-bromo- and 5-chloro-4-nitro-2,1,3-benzoselenadiazoles. As demonstrated by the synthesis of an imidazo-, a selenadiazolo- and a pyrazinoquinoxaline, the reactive halogen atom ortho to the nitro substituent renders the novel quinoxalines versatile intermediates to further heterocycles.
