A synthetically useful CC bond formation involving the photochemical addition of quinoxaline‐2(1 H )‐thiones to alkenes is described. Irradiation of the quinoxaline‐2(1 H )‐thiones 1–4 in the presence of the alkenes 7 gave the 2‐(2′‐mercaptoalkyl)quinoxalines 8–11 in moderate‐to‐good yields via ring cleavage of an intermediate aminothietane with aromatization of the quinoxaline ring. The latter was formed by [2+2] photocycloaddition of the CS bond of the quinoxaline‐2(1 H )‐thione and the CC bond of the alkene.
