(Received 2 December 2008; accepted 8 December 2008; online 13 December 2008)

In the title mol­ecule, C22H16N2, the pyrazine ring deviates very slightly from planarity [maximum deviation 0.044 (3) Å], tending towards a twist-boat conformation. The phenyl ring at position 3 makes dihedral angles of 64.0 (2) and 45.8 (2)°, respectively, with the phenyl rings at positions 2 and 5. The dihedral angle between the phenyl rings at positions 2 and 5 is 49.7 (2)°. A C—H⋯π inter­action is found in the crystal structure, but no classical hydrogen bonds form.

Comment top

Pyrazines are heterocycles which exhibit nutty, roasted or earth flavouring agents. 2-Cyanopyrazine derivatives show anticancer, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities (Sondhi et al., 2005). Pyrazine derivatives exhibit tuberculostatic activity (Foks et al., 2004) and antimicrobial activity (Premkumar & Govindarajan, 2005).

In the title molecule, C22H16N2, (Fig. 1), the pyrazine ring deviates very slightly from planarity, tending towards a twist-boat conformation. The phenyl ring at position 3 makes dihedral angles of 64.0 (2)° and 45.8 (2)° with the phenyl rings at positions 2 and 5, respectively. The dihedral angle between the phenyl rings at positions 2 and 5 is 49.7 (2)°. A C53—H53···π interaction involving the phenyl (C21–C26) ring at position 2 is found in the crystal structure, but no classical hydrogen bonds.

Experimental top

To a homogeneous solution of benzil (1.05 g, 0.005 mol) and 1-phenylethanediamine dihydrochloride (1.04 g, 0.005 mol) in ethanol, sodium acetate trihydrate (2.04 g, 0.015 mol) was added. The precipitated sodium chloride was filtered off and the filtrate was refluxed for 2 h. On completion of the reaction, as indicated by TLC, the reaction mixture was poured into crushed ice and the resulting solid was filtered off and purified by column chromatography on silica gel. Elution with benzene: petroleum ether (4:1 v/v) at 333–353 K gave the product in pure form. Yield 1.6 g (80%).

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 times Ueq(C). In the absence of significant anomalous scattering effects Friedel pairs have been merged.

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles

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 > 2σ(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.
