Unlike known o-nitro methyl derivatives of aromatic compounds, 6-methyl-5-nitro-, 2,3,6-trimethyl-5-nitro-, and 7-methyl-6-nitroquinoxaline and 1,6-dimethyl-5-nitroquinoxalinium perchlorate do not exhibit photochromism in aqueous-ethanolic solutions under conditions of flash photolysis with a time resolution of 50 μs. Under conditions of continuous photolysis, these 5-nitromethylquinoxaline derivatives and also 5-nitroquinoxaline undergo nitro-nitrite rearrangement to give 5-quinoxalinol derivatives with quantum yields ranging from 1 × 10-4 to 3 × 10-3; the efficiency of the photochemical reaction increases when irradiation is performed with a shorter-wave light. 6-Nitro derivatives do not form stable products of photochemical transformations under the same conditions.
