Visible-light-induced decarboxylative acylation of quinoxalin-2(1<i>H</i>)-ones with α-oxo carboxylic acids under metal-, strong oxidant- and external photocatalyst-free conditions

Abstract

An eco-friendly visible-light-induced decarboxylative acylation of quinoxalin-2(1<italic>H</italic>)-ones and α-oxo carboxylic acids with air as the oxidant under external-photocatalyst-free conditions was established.
