Abstract

An efficient method for constructing quinoxalinone-N-oxides from cyanoacetanilides has been developed. This transformation can be achieved using inexpensive reagents and molecular oxygen under mild conditions, thus offering a practical pathway to quinoxalinone-containing pharmaceuticals such as ataquimast and opaviraline.
