3-(2-Azidophenyl)sydnone (5) was prepared directly from amine 3 by a novel process involving diazotization in the presence of azide ion. Reaction of the triphenylphosphine imide 7, derived from 5, with isocyanates or isothiocyanates gave the 4-aminosydno[3,4-a] quinoxalines 9 in moderate to good yield, presumably via aza-Wittig conversion to carbodiimide intermediates 8 and subsequent elecrophilic aromatic substitution at the sydnone ring 4-position.
