The reaction of 2,6-dichloroquinoxaline (13) with m-chloroperbenzoic acid gave 2,6-dichloroquinoxaline 4-oxide (14), whose reaction with pyrrolidine or indoline provided 2-substituted 6-chloroquinoxaline 4-oxides (15). The isoxazolo[2,3-a]quinoxalines (16) and pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines (17) were selectively synthesized from the 2-substituted 6-chloroquinoxaline 4-oxides (15) and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate. Moreover, the pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines (17) were found to be produced by the ring transformation of the isoxazolo[2,3-a]quinoxalines (16).
