Recent Advances in Photocatalytic Functionalization of Quinoxalin‐2‐ones

Abstract

Visible‐light‐mediated chemical reactions have become highly popular in the last ten years. This review covers the recent developments in visible‐light photofunctionalization of quinoxalin‐2‐one derivatives. Reaction types have been categorized depending on the kind of bond formed: C–C, C–O, C–N, C–S, C–P, and C–X, with representative examples and discussion on the catalyst used providing insightful mechanistic details. Moreover, their applications to the synthesis of biologically active compounds has also been discussed.
