The invention discloses a method for synthesizing
quinoxaline derivatives by catalyzing arylamine and a
diazo compound through acidic functionalized
ionic liquid, and belongs to the technical field of fine
organic synthesis. A 2-
aryl aniline compound and a
diazo compound are placed in the presence of a
solvent, an acid and an
ionic liquid, subjected to a
cascade reaction of wolf rearrangement,
nucleophilic addition, oxidation and cyclization at 100-140 DEG C, cooled to the
room temperature, extracted with
ethyl acetate, dried with
anhydrous sodium sulfate and then subjected to reduced pressure
distillation to remove the
solvent, a mixed crude product is obtained, and the 2-
aryl aniline compound is obtained. And separating and purifying the mixture by adopting
silica gel column chromatography to obtain the
quinoxaline derivative. The method has the advantages that the catalyst is green and renewable, the operation is simple, the selectivity is high, the substrate range is wide, and the tolerance to functional groups is good, the
diazo compound is rearranged into the
phthalic acid by virtue of tandem wolf rearrangement,
nucleophilic addition, oxidation and cyclization, and a new way is provided for synthesis of
quinoxaline derivatives.
