Photolysis of kyl(phenyl)piperazino)-3-amino-1,4-naphthoquinones affor
ds aphtho[2',3':4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine-6,11-diols which recyclize
at elevated temperatures to yield )-3,1-(iminoethano)benzo[g]quinoxali
ne-5,10-diols. The latter are oxidated with atmospheric oxygen to the
corresponding diones. On the basis of deuterium exchange data a mechan
ism for the recyclization is proposed.
