Abstract
A convenient method for the synthesis of spiro[indeno[1,2-b]quinoxaline-[1,3,4]oxadiazole]s involves a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of nitrile imines generated in situ with indenoquinoxaline derivatives.
Introduction
Quinoxaline and its derivatives play a significant role in organic synthesis [1]. Many quinoxalines are antimicrobial [2], anti-hypertensive [3], anti-tubercular [4], anti-depressant [5], anti-malarial [6], anti-inflammatory [7], anti-convulsant [8], anti-HIV [9], anti-diabetic and anticancer agents [10, 11]. They are also used in the synthesis of organic semiconductors [12], rigid subunits of macrocyclic receptors for molecular recognition [13] and chemically controllable switches [14].
Spirocyclic molecules are of considerable interest as natural and synthetic products including optoelectronic materials [15]. Spiro frameworks are found in phytochemicals such as alkaloids, lactones and terpenoids [16]. 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition is a powerful route for the synthesis of five-membered spiro compounds [17, 18]. Nitrile imines are important 1,3-dipoles [19] that are easily generated in situ by the treatment of hydrazonoyl chlorides with Et3N. The reaction of these dipoles with a carbonyl group constitutes an efficient method for the regio- and stereoselective synthesis of structurally complex spirooxadiazole heterocycles from readily available precursors. Although the reactions of 1,3-dipoles with olefinic substrates have been studied extensively [20, 21], methods for the synthesis of oxadiazoles using the reaction of 1,3-dipoles and carbonyl units are rare [22]. In continuation of our efforts on the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds using nitrile imines [23], we describe an efficient procedure for the synthesis of spiro[indeno[1,2-b]quinoxaline-11,2′-[1,3,4]oxadiazole] derivatives 3 by the reaction of ninhydrin, phenylenediamines 1 and hydrazonoyl chlorides 2 in the presence of Et3N in EtOH at room temperature.
Results and discussion
A mixture of phenylenediamine 1a (Table 1) and ninhydrin was stirred in ethanol under reflux conditions for 1 h followed by the addition of hydrazonoyl chloride 2a (Ar=Ph) and Et3N. After an additional stirring at room temperature for 2 h, the product 3a was obtained in an 80% yield. Other products 3b,c were obtained in high yields in a similar way. The structural determination of 3a–c was achieved by analysis of 1H NMR, 13C NMR and IR spectroscopic data. The mass spectra of all products display a molecular ion peak and their 1H NMR spectra are fully consistent with the assigned structures. A characteristic peak for a spiro carbon at 99.6–99.9 ppm appears in the 13C NMR spectra of compounds 3a–c. Additional compounds 3d–f synthesized using methyl-substituted 1,2-benzenediamines are listed in Table 2. As expected, mixtures of two isomers were obtained in each case because the starting diamines contained two nonequivalent amino groups. A proposed mechanism for this reaction is exemplified in Scheme 1 by the synthesis of product 3a. Initially, a quinoxaline 4a is formed by the reaction of phenylenediamine 1a and ninhydrin. In a parallel reaction, an intermediate nitrile imine A is generated from hydrazonoyl chloride 2a. A 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of intermediate products A and 4a leads to the formation of the final product 3a.

Conclusion
A facile synthetic route to spiro[indeno[1,2-b]quinoxaline-11,2′-[1,3,4]oxadiazole]s starting with readily available starting materials was developed.
Experimental
1H-NMR (300 MHz) and 13C-NMR (75 MHz) spectra were obtained using a Bruker DRX-300 AVANCE spectrometer in CDCl3 as solvent. IR spectra were recorded on a NICOLET FT-IR 100 spectrophotometer. Electron-impact mass spectra were recorded on a FINNIGAN-MATT 8430 instrument operating at an ionization potential of 70 eV. Melting points were determined with an Electrothermal 9100 apparatus. Hydrazonoyl chlorides 2 were obtained as previously reported [24, 25].
General procedure for the synthesis of 3a–f
A mixture of phenylenediamine 1 (1 mmol) and ninhydrin (1 mmol) in EtOH (4 mL) was stirred under reflux for 1 h. Then, hydrazonoyl chloride 2 (1 mmol) and Et3N (1 mmol) were added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for an additional period indicated below. Progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC analysis. After completion of the reaction, the resultant precipitate was washed with acetone to afford the pure product 3a–f.
