The reaction of 1‐(2‐aminophenyl)pyrrole with aromatic or heteroaromatic aldehydes in ethanol and catalytic amounts of acetic acid leads to 4,5‐dihydropyrrolo[1,2‐ a ]quinoxalines in high yields. When aliphatic aldehydes were used under the same conditions, a slow oxidation to the corresponding pyrrolo[1,2‐ a ]quinoxalines can occur; the oxidation can be avoided by preparing in situ the 5‐acetyl derivatives of the 4,5‐dihydropyrrolo[1,2‐ a ]quinoxalines.
