A Mn(I)-catalyzed site-selective nondirected C3-maleimidation of quinoxaline is established. Herein, the electrophilic C3-metalation precedes over the o-directed strategy to access diversely substituted quinoxaline-appended succinimides. The products undergo PIFA-promoted C(sp2)-C(sp3) spirocyclization via π-electrons drifting from aryls and Selectfluor-mediated dehydrogenation of succinimide at room temperature.
