2‐Methylquinoxaline reacts with ethyl bromopyruvate giving 2‐substituted pyrrolo[1,2‐α]quinoxalines. The yield of the condensation depends on the functionalization of starting materials, and optimization is obtained with 2‐dimethylamino‐3‐methylquinoxaline ( 1c ). Reactivity of the resulting pyrrolo[1,2‐a]‐quinoxalines was investigated and supported by a theoretical approach (AM1 calculation performed with the MOPAC 6.0 software). X‐ray analysis of 5 which crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2 1 /n, with a = 9.095(1), b = 8.972(1), c = 17.749(3) A, β = 96.56(1)°, is also reported.
