Abstract

A practical method to synthesize quinoxalinones via intra/intermolecular amination using rhodium as the catalyst was developed. A wide variety of quinoxalinones were prepared from N-methoxybenzamides in moderate to excellent yields. Gram-scale reactions were also achieved, highlighting the synthetic importance of this new transformation.
