The invention provides a catalyst-free photoreaction method based on pyrrolo [1, 2-a]
quinoxaline and a derivative thereof and an
azo compound, and a product, and belongs to the technical field of
chemistry. The pyrrolo [1, 2-a]
quinoxaline and the derivative thereof are used,
amination reaction of the
azo compound is realized under the condition of visible light induction, formation of C-N bonds can be directly and efficiently induced through
blue light (456nm), a new strategy is provided for C-N
coupling reaction of the pyrrolo [1, 2-a]
quinoxaline and the derivative thereof with the
azo compound, the highest yield can reach 95%, and the method is suitable for industrial production. Compared with the existing method for catalyzing the
amination reaction by using catalysts such as super acid,
noble metal and
fluorine-containing
solvent, the method disclosed by the invention is safe and mild in reaction condition, green and environment-friendly, conforms to the
green chemistry concept, and is beneficial to reducing the
energy consumption and the environmental influence.
