6- Chloro- 2- quinoxaline 4-oxide cyclization

Some very clever syntheses of pyrazines were reported. Tandem Mn02-mediated oxidation followed by in situ trapping with aromatic or aliphatic 1,2-diamines was shown to give rise to quinoxalines, dihydropyrazines, pyrazines, and piperazines without the need to isolate highly reactive 1,2-dicarbonyl intermediates <03CC2286>. A new intramolecular cyclization route to highly substituted chiral 6,7-dihydro-5//-imidazo[l,5-a]pyrazin-8-ones like 157 from Meldrum s acid was developed <030L3907>, and 5-chloropyrido[3,4-6]pyrazines were prepared from 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds and 2-chloro-3,4-diaminopyridine <03H(60)925>.
