Quinoxalines, typically structures containing the formula C8H6N2, are most often synthesized by combining o-diamines and diketones.<br/>In the lab, we began research under a different compound: condensing substituted benzoquinoxalines with phenylenediamine, as shown in Reaction 1; the oxygen had little reactivity to attack the amine side chain of the phenylenediamine.<br/>With this knowledge, we began examination of substituted quinoxalines for analysis on the physical and characteristic differences based on their placement.<br/>After reaction 2, 2,3-dithien-2’-yl-6-methylquinoxaline was tested for melting point analysis, performed an NMR, followed by a FTIR.
