General description

Ethyl (4-fluorobenzoyl)acetate on condensation with benzofurazan oxide yields 2-(carboethoxy)-3-(4′-fluoro)phenylquinoxaline1,4-dioxide.

Application

Reactant used as a precursor in:
  • Condensation reactions with diamines via C-C bond cleavage for synthesis of benzimidazoles and perimidines for possible use as antimalarial treatments
  • Base-promoted domino Michael addition / cyclization / elimination reactions for synthesis of hydroxybenzophenones
  • Oxidative cross-coupling with indoles via dioxygen activation
  • Cyclization of keto esters for synthesis of pyrones
  • Lewis base catalyzed hydrosilylation for synthesis of α-acetoxy β-amino acid derivatives
  • Conia-ene reactions for synthesis of methylenecyclopentane derivatives
