Transition metals mediated cross coupling methodologies provide an extremely powerful versatile pathway in organic syntheses undoubtedly, a facile route for syntheses and derivatization of biologically important heterocycles from easily available precursors. Sonogashira coupling reaction, a leading method to Csp-Csp2 bond formation is one of the most important and rapid pathways to couple aryl/vinyl halides with terminal alkynes. Current research study deals with the synthesis of alkyne substituted quinoxaline derivatives. The quinoxalines class of aromatic heterocycles exhibits a wide variety of important biological potencies. Palladium catalyzed cross coupling process provided an effective synthetic practice for the synthesis of alkyne derivatives of quinoxaline. Vareity of terminal alkynes were coupled with 2-(4-bromophenyl)quinoxaline under optimized conditions for Sonogashira reaction, affording alkyne substituted quinoxaline derivatives in high yields. The optimized reaction conditions for coupling of range of terminal alkyne with quinoxaline basic core render this process significant for designing of medicinally interesting precursors.
