Abstract

This report discloses novel concise syntheses of quinoxalinones and diazepinones via a tandem oxidative amidation–deprotection–cyclization sequence. A selenium dioxide mediated oxidative amidation of arylglyoxals with secondary amines was carried out under microwave irradiation to give the corresponding α-keto amides, followed by an acid-promoted deprotection and cyclization to afford the desired products in moderate to good yields.
