2,4‐Substituted flavins (isoalloxazines) bearing an NH 2 ‐group in 8‐position were found to be stable and easily accessible. In particular the 2‐ and 4‐imino‐, resp. 2,4‐diimino‐compounds are similar to riboflavin in colour and fluorescence, but readily water‐soluble. The chemical behaviour of this new class of flavins is discussed.
