An efficient and green strategy for the preparation of C3-difluoroarylmethylated quinoxalin-2(1 H )-one via a visible-light-induced decarboxylative C3-difluoroarylmethylation of quinoxalin-2(1 H )-one with potassium 2,2-difluoro-2-arylacetate in water at room temperature was developed. This photoinduced reaction generated the desired products in good yields under simple and mild conditions.
