Summary.
Catalytic hydrogenation of 5-nitro-2,3-diphenylquinoxaline led to the corresponding amine which, in turn, afforded products of nucleophilic substitution on reaction with alkoxymethylene derivatives. Thermal cyclization of selected alkoxymethylene derivatives yielded substituted pyridoquinoxalines. The conditions for successful hydrolysis of ester, decarboxylation of the acid, following chlorination of pyridone and reductive removal of the chlorine atom from it to produce parental heterocycle 2,3-diphenyl-pyrido[2,3-f]quinoxaline were found. All of the tested products of the nucleophilic substitution showed no antibacterial activity.
