A visible-light-induced radical relay cyclization/C-C bond formation of quinoxalin-2(1 H )-ones with allyloxy-tethered aryl iodides using polysulfide anions as a photocatalyst is described. This protocol allows efficient access to a variety of complicated molecules bearing both quinoxalin-2(1 H )-one and 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran motifs in high yields under mild reaction conditions with a broad range of substrates.
