5-Hydroxyquinoxaline is an organic compound characterized by its quinoxaline structure, which consists of a fused bicyclic system containing two nitrogen atoms. It features a hydroxyl (-OH) group at the 5-position, which contributes to its chemical reactivity and potential biological activity. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents, reflecting its ability to engage in hydrogen bonding due to the presence of the hydroxyl group. 5-Hydroxyquinoxaline has garnered interest in medicinal chemistry for its potential pharmacological properties, including neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. Its structure allows for various chemical modifications, which can enhance its biological activity or alter its solubility and stability. Additionally, it may serve as a precursor in the synthesis of other quinoxaline derivatives, expanding its utility in research and development. As with many chemical substances, safety precautions should be observed when handling 5-Hydroxyquinoxaline, as its biological effects and toxicity profiles are important considerations in both laboratory and therapeutic contexts.

5-Hydroxyquinoxaline is a glyoxal copper complex that is photophysical and has a ring structure. It can be found in nature as a product of the cleavage of 5-hydroxyindole, which is derived from tryptophan. 5-Hydroxyquinoxaline can be used to produce hydrosulfite or nitrogen atoms. It is also used as a ligand for potassium dichromate and aromatic hydrocarbons. 5-Hydroxyquinoxaline has been shown to have anti-mutagenic properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the production of nitro derivatives that are mutagenic.
