Furoxans are potentially useful heteroaromatic units in pharmaceuticals and agrichemicals. However, the applications for furoxan-based compounds have been hampered due to the underdevelopment of their synthetic methods. Herein, we report a new synthetic approach for the synthesis of chloro- and bromofuroxans. The starting materials were dichloro- and dibromofuroxans, and the substituents were directly
Syntheses and structures of some halogeno derivatives of furazan and furoxan are reported. Antimicrobial properties of these compounds are also discussed.
