Abstract

An efficient Rh-catalyzed oxidative C-H activation/annulation of 2-arylquinoxalines with internal alkynes is described using Cu(OAc)2·H2O and AgBF4 to afford a diverse variety of substituted quarternary ammonium salts at room temperature. The mechanism of the protocol is established on the basis of isolation of the 5-membered rhodacycle intermediate and kinetic isotope studies. The mild reaction conditions, substrate scope and functional group diversity are the salient practical features.
