Amberlyst-Promoted Eco-Friendly Route to 4-Arylpyrrolo [1,2-a]Quinoxalines
Authors
Abstract
Herein, we have developed an Amberlyst-15-catalyzed oxidative cyclization strategy for the synthesis of biologically active pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline scaffolds. The advantages of the present protocol include catalyst recovery and reuse, along with simpler reaction conditions compared to previously reported methods.

- 10 General procedure for the synthesis of 4-substituted pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines (3): A mixture of (2-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl) aniline (0.63 mmol), corresponding aldehydes (0.66 mmol) and 5 mol% w/w amberlyst-15 in ethanol (10 mL) was heated to 90 °C for 24 h in sealed tube. Then, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and diluted with DCM (10 mL). The mixture was filtered to remove Amberlyst A15, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude reaction mixture was purified by column chromatography
