Here, we report iron-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of quinoxalines <i>via</i> transfer hydrogenative condensation of 2-nitroanilines with vicinal diols. The tricarbonyl (η4-cyclopentadienone) iron complex, which is well known as the Knölker complex, catalyzed the oxidation of alcohols and the reduction of nitroarenes, and the corresponding carbonyl and 1,2-diaminobenzene intermediates were generated <i>in situ</i>. Trimethylamine N-oxide was used to activate the iron complex. Various unsymmetrical ...[more]
