Abstract:
The quinoxaline and quinoxalinone family of nitrogen heterocycles is present in molecules of therapeutic relevance for diverse applications ranging from infectious diseases to neuroscience targets. Here, we describe a general synthetic sequence to afford pyrrolo[1,2-α]quinoxalinones from commercially available starting materials and their use in preparing potential kappa opioid receptor antagonists. The biological data obtained from the latter set of compounds is briefly presented and discussed.

Preparation of Epoxides
Epoxides result from alkene oxidation, which can be achieved by a) air, b) peroxy acids, c) hypochlorous acids, and d) halohydrin cyclization.
Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of peroxy acids to...
