An efficient tandem process for the selective synthesis of 1,2-annulated α-fused quinoxalines using benzotriazole methodology by a modified Pictet-Spengler reaction is described. The approach involves the reaction of arylamines 4 with aromatic aldehydes 5 to furnish 6-endo-dig-cyclized products. Dihydroquinoxalines 6 were selectively obtained by using AlCl3 in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at room temperature for two hours. However, after ten hours, quinoxalines 7 were obtained exclusively in excellent yields. A series of biologically important fluoro-and piperazenyl-substituted quinoxalines were also synthesized. This developed methodology also provides access to a novel tandem synthesis of quinoxalinones 9.
