ABSTRACT:
Since 1883 when Bernthsen, the father of phenothiazine chemistry, synthesized the first compound in this series, several hundreds of derivatives have been made, including angular phenothiazine derivatives of varying structural types.The angular azaphenothiazines have wide industrial application, typified by their use as dyes and pigments, drugs, sensitizers for photocopying materials, polymerization retardants and particularly as antioxidants in gasoline, grease and other petroleum lubricants.In this paper, we present a review of the chemistry and uses of angular phenothiazine derivatives.
