3-Triazolylquinoxalines can be readily synthesized by applying two complementary synthetic protocols starting from heterocyclic π nucleophiles or (hetero)aryl glyoxylic acids in a consecutive four- or five-component reaction. Conceptually, the sequential use of a single cuprous salt for alkynylation and Cu-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) in a one-pot fashion sets the stage for activation-alkynylation-cyclocondensation-CuAAC or glyoxylation-alkynylation-cyclocondensation-CuAAC sequences in good yields. The diversity-oriented generation of differently substituted 3-triazolylquinoxalines is an excellent entry to tunable emission solvatorchromic fluorophores with triazole ligation. The electronic structure, corroborated by DFT and TD-DFT calculations, rationalizes the charge transfer character of relevant absorptions and large Stokes shifts as well as the electronic innocence of the triazole substituents.
