The title compound, C27H18N4O·2CH4O, is a unsymmetrically substituted quinoxaline. An intramolecular O-H
N hydrogen bond involving the hydroxy and imino groups generates an S(6) ring motif. Intermolecular C-H
O and N-H
O hydrogen bonds form an R21(7) ring motif involving a methanol O atom and two H atoms of the imidazole and benzene rings, respectively. The latter links neighbouring molecules into one-dimensional extended chains along the a axis. The two benzene rings are inclined towards each other, as indicated by the dihedral angle of 52.13 (10)°. The phenol ring is almost coplanar with the basic quinoxaline unit, making a dihedral angle of 2.43 (6)°. The short distances between the centroids of the five- and six-membered rings prove the existence of
-
interactions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.5234 (9)-3.7885 (10) Å]. The crystal structure is stabilized by intramolecular O-H
N, intermolecular O-H
O, N-H
O and C-H
O (× 2) hydrogen bonds and weak intermolecular C-H
and

interactions.
A mixture of (E)-2-((5-amino-2,3-diphenylquinoxalin-6-ylimino)methyl) -phenol (418 mg, 1 mmol) in 20 ml of dichloromethane was added to a 20 ml methanolic solution of CoCl2. 6H2O (238 mg, 1 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred under heating/boiling condition for 1 h. After cooling, the brown crystalline products was filtered, washed with ethanol and ether and then dried at room temperature.
The H-atoms attached to O1 and N4 were located from the difference Fourier map and refined freely. The H-atoms attached to O2 and O3 were located from the difference Fourier map and then costrained to ride on the parent atoms with an isotropic displacement parameter 1.5 times that of the parent atom. The rest of the hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically [C—H = 0.93 - 0.96 Å] and refined using a riding model. A rotating-group model was applied for the methyl groups.

Experimental. The low-temperature data was collected with the Oxford Cyrosystem Cobra low-temperature attachment. |
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Quinoxaline structure is recognized in a growing number of naturally occurring compounds such as riboflavin (vitamin B2), flavoenzymes, molybdopterines and antibiotics of Streptomyces (Ali et al., 2000; Veroni et al., 2008). Quinoxaline derivatives have already been used as antibacterial, antiviral, anticancer, antifungal, antihelmintic and insecticidal agents (Zarranz et al., 2004). The widely prescribed quinoxaline antibiotics are found to bind specifically by bisintercalation to double-stranded DNA (Addess et al., 1993) and to enhance peptide nucleic acid (PNA) binding to it (Mollegaard et al., 2000), stimulating the research on the DNA-interactive ligands. In addition, some disubstituted quinoxaline derivatives have been found as potent antagonists of the quisqualate and kainate receptors on neurones of the central nervous system. To the best of our knowledge, this compound is the first quinoxaline with both phenol and imidazole substituents. In view of the importance of these organic ligands, the title compound (I) was synthesized and its crystal structure is repoted here.
The bond lenghts and angles are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). An intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond involving the hydroxy and the N atom of the imidazole group generate S(6) ring motif (Bernstein et al. 1995). An intermolecular C—H···O and N—H···O hydrogen bonds form an R21(7) ring motif involving an oxygen of the methanol and two H atoms of the imidazole and benzene rings, respectively (Bernstein et al. 1995). The latter links neighbouring molecules into 1-D extended chains (Fig. 2) along the a axis. The two benzene rings are inclined to each other and their orientations are shown by the dihedral angle of 52.13 (10) °. The phenol ring is almost coplanar with the basic quinoxaline unit making the dihedral angle of 2.43 (6) °. The short distances between the centroids of the five and six-membered rings prove an existence of π-π interactions (Table 1) [centroid–centroid distances ranging from 3.5234 (9) to 3.7885 (10) Å]. The crystal structure is stabilized by intramolecular O—H···N, intermolecular O—H···O, N—H···O, C—H···O (x 2) hydrogen bonds, weak intermolecular C—H···π and π-π interactions.
