Abstract:
Benzofuroxane reacts under Beirut reaction conditions with active methylene nitriles to give new 2-aminoquinoxaline-1,4-dioxides. Treatment of known 2-amino-3-cyanoquinoxaline-1,4-dioxide with chloroacetyl chloride afforded corresponding chloroacetamide useful for preparation of various heterocycles bearing quinoxaline-1,4-dioxide core system.
Keywords: Beirut reaction, benzofuroxane, 2-aminoquinoxaline-1,4-dioxides, hetarylacetonitriles, malononitrile

Doubts with the base
Hello.
It is a great job! Congratulations! I have some doubts regarding the quantity of base. According to the Beirut reaction, a base is required, some cases is used in a catalytic amount, other equimolar amounts instead. In your procedure, you are using 1.5 Eq of KOH or Et3N. Why are you using a slightly excess ? have you tried with less quantity? Thanks for your support
P.D Perhaps, If you heat slightly the reaction, you can obtain the compound 5.
Best regards
