A catalytic domino reduction–imine formation–intramolecular cyclization–oxidation for the general synthesis of a wide variety of biologically relevant N-polyheterocycles, such as quinoxaline- and quinoline-fused derivatives, and phenanthridines, is reported. A simple, easily available, and environmentally friendly dioxomolybdenum(VI) complex has proven to be a highly efficient and versatile catalyst for transforming a broad range of starting nitroarenes involving several redox processes. Not only is this a sustainable, step-economical as well as air- and moisture-tolerant method, but also it is worth highlighting that the waste byproduct generated in the first step of the sequence is recycled and incorporated in the final target molecule, improving the overall synthetic efficiency. Moreover, selected indoloquinoxalines have been photophysically characterized in cyclohexane and toluene with exceptional fluorescence quantum yields above 0.7 for the alkyl derivatives.

Herein, we describe novel iron-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation between alcohols and 1-(2-nitrophenyl)pyrroles for the synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-α]quinoxalines. The tricarbonyl (η4-cyclopentadienone) iron complex catalyzed the oxidation of alcohols and the reduction of nitroarenes, and the corresponding aldehydes and aniline were generated in situ. The resulting Pictet-Spengler-type annulation/oxidation completed the quinoxaline structure formation. The protocol tolerated various kinds of functional groups and provided 29 samples of 4-substituted pyrrolo[1,2-α]quinoxalines. The developed method was also applied for the synthesis of additional polyheterocycles.

Biaryls are important compounds with widespread applications in many fields. Tetramethylammonium fluoride tetrahydrate was found to promote the biaryl coupling of aryl iodides bearing electron-withdrawing substituents with unactivated arenes. The reaction takes place at temperatures between 100 and 150°C and can be applied to a wide range of aromatic and heteroaromatic rings, affording the products in moderate to high yields. The reaction does not require strong bases or expensive additives that are employed in the existing methods and can be conducted in air and moisture without any precautions.
