The invention discloses a method for synthesizing C-3 alkyl substituted quinoxalinone by nickel catalysis under an electrochemical condition, and belongs to the technical field of preparation of compounds. The method comprises the steps: taking 2-hydroxyquinoxaline and N-hydroxyphthalimide ester as raw materials in a single-compartment electrolytic cell, in an electrolyte solution, taking nickel chloride hexahydrate as a catalyst, 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-dipyridine as a ligand, carrying out electrolysis under the condition that lithium perchlorate is used as a supporting electrolyte, carryingout a reaction for 3 h at the reaction temperature of 60 DEG C and with the current density of 8 mA / cm<2>, and thus obtaining the C-3 substituted alkylated quinoxalinone compounds with different structures. The method has the advantages of mild reaction, use of the cheap and easily available nickel metal catalyst, and good functional group compatibility. Besides, the electrochemical method provides a green and effective method for the synthesis of various alkyl substituted quinoxalinone compounds, and is helpful for realizing atom economy, so that the cost is greatly reduced, the operation ismuch simpler, and the industrial production is facilitated.
