“…15 It is well known that pyrimidine and fused pyrimidines are of great biological interest, especially as antiviral, antitumor and antimicrobial agents. 16 As a continuation of our work on the synthesis of biologically active heterocyclic compounds, [17][18][19] we became interested in the synthesis of pyrimido[5′,4′:5,6] [1,4] thiazino [2,3-b]quinoxalines. A literature survey revealed that there is only one reference dealing with the synthesis of this heterocyclic system, employing 4,5-diaminopyrimidine-6(1H)thione and 2,3-dichloroquinoxalines as the starting materials.…”
