Aj. Maroulis et al., Synthesis of 2,3-diphenylquinoxaline 1-oxides by oxidative cyclization of benzil alpha-arylimino oximes, SYNTHESIS-S, (12), 1998, pp. 1769-1772
The title compounds 3a-h were synthesized by condensation of (E)-benzil mon
oxime 2 with the appropriate substituted aniline, 1 followed by oxidative c
yclization to the corresponding 2,3-diphenylquinoxaline 1-oxides 4a-h using
lead tetraacetate.
