Abstract Herein, a rapid alkenylation of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones enabled by a combination of Mannich-type reaction and solar photocatalysis is demonstrated. A wide range of functional groups are compatible, affording the corresponding products in moderate-to-good yields. Control experiments illustrate that the in situ generated 1O2 plays a central role in this reaction. This green and efficient strategy provides a practical solution for the synthesis of potentially bioactive compounds that containing a 3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-one structure.
