Abstract

In the reaction of N-methylquinoxalinium iodide with acetylacetone at −30 °C, the formation of 3-acetyl-2,4-dimethyl-3a,4,9,9a-tetrahydrofuro[2,3-b]quinoxaline has been recorded by 1H NMR spectroscopy, this being a regioisomer of the 3-acetyl-2,9-dimethyl-3a,4,9,9a-tetrahydro[2,3-b]quinoxaline formed in this reaction at temperatures above −10 °C. σ-Adducts of the N-methylquinoxalinium cation with alcohols, amines, and β-diketones have also been identified, and their role in cyclizations leading to the annelation of a furan ring is discussed.
