[Synthesis and antibacterial properties of quinoxaline 1,4-dioxide derivatives].

Novel quinoxaline 1,4-dioxide derivatives were synthesized from benzofuroxans and the enolic form of 1,3-diketones or 3-oxoalkanoic esters or 3-oxoalkanamides or butanedioic esters catalyzed by silica gel or molecular sieves and their antibacterial activities were evaluated. As the results of antibacterial screening tests in vitro, quinoxaline 1,4-dioxides revealed strong activities against Bacteroides fragilis.
