Abstract: | Quinoxaline-2,3(1H,4H)-dithione can be synthesized efficiently through the thionation of quinoxaline-2,3(1H,4H)-dione with phosphorous pentasulfide. It can also be obtained by reaction of 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline with thiourea or sodium hydrogen sulfide. The most common reactions of quinoxaline-2,3(1H,4H)-dithione involve deprotonation and electrophilic attack at the sulfur atoms to give various substituted derivatives and poly-fused heterocyclic ring systems. The current review aims to provide a survey of the developments in quinoxaline-2,3(1H,4H)-dithione chemistry until 2016. |
