The electrochemical reduction of fluoflavine 2 gives compound 9 to which we had previously assigned a hexahydroquinoxalino[2,3-b]quinoxaline structure. A crystallographic study of a diacetylated derivative of 9 shows that 9 is in fact 2-(o-aminoanilinomethyl)benzimidazole. This result permits us to propose a detailed reduction mechanism for 2 and its diacetyl derivative 25.
