Rhodium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of quinoxalines with water as a hydrogen source†
Abstract
Rhodium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of quinoxalines with water as a hydrogen source was reported. The reaction allowed the simple preparation of tetrahydroquinoxalines under mild conditions. The deuterium-labelling experiment confirmed that water is the sole hydrogen source in the transfer hydrogenation reaction.
