A simple preparative procedure was developed for 3-(2-oxoalkylidene)-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-ones, 4,5-dihydroxy-1-[3-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-ylidene]-3,5-octadiene-2,7-dione, and 3-(2,3-dihydroxy-4-methyl-5-oxo-1,3-cyclopentadien-1-yl)quinoxalin-2(1H)-one by reaction of methyl ketones first with diethyl oxalate in the presence of sodium, and then with o-phenylenediamine.
