Microwave assisted synthesis of pharmacologically active N-phenyl acetamide derivatives of indolo [2, 3-b] quinoxaline

Abstract

We have developed rapid and efficient method for the synthesis of pharmacologically active N-phenyl acetamide derivatives of indolo [2, 3-b] quinoxaline by using microwave irradiations. Condensation of Substituted phenyl iodoacetamide derivatives with indolo [2, 3-b] quinoxaline under the influence of microwave radiations gave the products. Microwave assisted synthesis not only reduced the reaction time drastically but also gave excellent yields of N-phenyl acetamide derivatives of indolo [2, 3-b] quinoxaline.
