An iodine-catalyzed aerobic oxidation reaction of C(sp3)-H bonds was established at room temperature. In this transformation, iodine acts as a Lewis acid catalyst, and the pyridine moiety in substrate plays crucial role. Under optimum conditions, picolyl ketone substrates were smoothly transformed into corresponding 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds, subsequent introduction 1,2-diaminobenzenes mixture led to formation various quinoxaline derivatives. This synthetic process does not use transition metals also features mild operational simplicity, gram-scale synthesis.
