Abstract
The reactions of 3-(α-chlorophenylhydrazono)hydrazinocarbonylmethyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxalines 4a,c with triethyl orthoesters resulted in the intramolecular cyclization to give the 3-(α-chlorophenylhydrazono-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-ylmethyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxalines 5a-d, but not the 1,2,4,5-tetrazepinylquinoxalines 6a-d. The cyclization mode into the 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring was confirmed by the alternate syntheses of 5a,c from the reactions of the 3-(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-ylmethylene)-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxalines 7a,b with o-chlorobenzenediazonium chloride. Moreover, the reactions of 3-(benzimidazol-2-ylmethylene)-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline hydrochloride 8 with o-, m- and p-chlorobenzenediazonium chlorides afforded the 3-(α-chlorophenylhydrazonobenzimidazol-2-ylmethy])-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxa]ine hydrochlorides 9a-c, respectively. Compounds 5a-d and 9a-c were found to exhibit antimicrobial activities.
