Copper-catalyzed synthesis of quinoxalines with o-phenylenediamine and terminal alkyne in the presence of bases.

A novel way of synthesizing quinoxalines efficiently through cyclization of o-phenylenediamine and terminal alkyne by Cu(II) and bases is developed. This reaction proceeds smoothly to give the products in moderate to good yields.
