A highly efficient iodine-catalyzed oxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction of quinoxalinones and indoles has been developed. Without the requirement of peroxide and acid, this reaction utilizes a catalytic amount of molecular iodine to facilitate the C-C bond formation under ambient air. This simple and easy-to-handle protocol represents an interesting synthetic alternative with a good scope and functional group compatibility.Mahidol UniversityChemical EngineeringChemistryArticleSCOPUS10.1055/s-0037-1609445
