In this article, we report a facile protocol for the efficient preparation of various quinoxaline-3-carbonyl compounds(30 examples,63%–92%) through oxidation coupling of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones with readily available carbazates(or acyl hydrazines) in the presence of K_2S_2O_8 as an oxidant in metal-and base-free conditions.
