Rapid alkenylation of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones enabled by the sequential Mannich-type reaction and solar photocatalysis

Herein,a rapid alkenylation of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones enabled by a combination of Mannich-type reaction and solar photocatalysis is demonstrated.A wide range of functional groups are compatible,affording the corresponding products in moderate-to-good yields.Control experiments illustrate that the in situ generated^(1)O_(2)plays a central role in this reaction.This green and efficient strategy provides a practical solution for the synthesis of potentially bioactive compounds that containing a 3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-one structure.
