As a powerful tool in modern organic synthesis, C–H functionalization offers an elegant
shortcut to molecular complexity, enabling direct bond transformations without any
pre-functionalization. In this connection, the C–H functionalization of quinoxalines
offers a direct and efficient approach to modify the quinoxaline scaffold, a key structural
motif in biologically active compounds and materials. This personal account describes
the methodologies developed by our group for the C–H activation and functionalization
of quinoxaline compounds.
