Benzofuroxans possess an unique combination of various chemical characteristics, such as tautomerism, ring opening, and easy transformation upon reactions with electrophilic and nucleophilic reagents. The benzofuroxan system is an excellent platform for the creation of new biologically active compounds. Taking into account the ability of benzofuroxan moiety to release NO, the design of hybrid compounds based on benzofuroxans became currently the most promising area in this field. Benzofuroxans also open a way to the production of various heterocyclic compounds, such as 2H-benzimidazole 1,3-dioxides, benzoxadiazine 4-oxides and 2H-benzimidazole mono-N-oxides. The presence of one or two NO donor moieties in the structure of these heterocycles makes the studies of these compounds being promising for the synthesis of new derivatives and the evaluation of their biological activity towards new objects.
