PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF 2-QUINOXALINES

摘要

Certain 2-quinoxalinol-4-oxides are selectively reduced to form 2-quinoxalinols employing hydrogen as a reducing agent by reacting such 2-quinoxalinol-4-oxides with a catalyst selected from the group consisting of platinum, rhodium, ruthenium and nickel at between about 20 DEG and about 150 DEG C and at between about 6 and about 60 atmospheres.
