Green SDS-assisted synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives in the water

Abstract

A simple, practical and convenient procedure for the synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives has been developed by reaction of 1,2-phenylenediamines with 1,2-diketones in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in the aqueous medium at room temperature without any organic solvent.
