The title compound, C20H12Br2N2, was prepared by the reaction of 1-(3-bromophenyl)-2-(4-bromophenyl)ethane-1,2-dione with o-phenylenediamine in refluxing ethanol. In the molecule, all bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 34.89 (1)°. The dihedral angles between the benzene rings and the quinoxaline system are 57.23 (1) and 36.75 (1)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by van der Waals forces.

A mixture of 1-(3-bromophenyl)-2-(4-bromophenyl)ethane-1,2-dione (5.77 g, 0.02 mol) and o-phenylene diamine (2.16 g, 0.02 mol) was stirred in refluxing ethanol (30 ml) for 5 h to afford the title compound (3.25 g, yield 74%). Single crystals suitable for X-ray measurements were obtained by recrystallization from THF at room temperature.
H atoms were fixed geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with N—H and C—H distances of 0.86 and 0.93–0.96 Å, respectively, and with Uiso=1.2–1.5Ueq of the parent atoms.
Quinoxaline derivatives are an important class of nitrogen containing heterocycles and constitute useful intermediates in organic synthesis which have been reported for their applications in the fields of dyes (Brock et al., 1999) and have also been used as building blocks for the synthesis of organic semiconductors (Dailey et al., 2001). Tetrahydroquinoxaline derivatives are important from a therapeutic point of view since promising anti HIV agents (Patel et al., 2000), glucogen receptor antagonists (Guillon et al., 1998) and angiotens in receptor antagonists (Kim et al., 1993) possess this ring system. The title compound (I) was synthesized as part of our study of these ligands. Here we report the
of (I).The structure of (I) is represented in Fig. 1. The bond lengths and angles are usual for this type of compound (Rong et al., 2006). The mean planes p1(C1 - C6) and p2 (N1,N2,C7 - C14) make a dihedral angle of 57.23 (1)°. The dihedral angles formed by phenyl ring(C8 –C13) and phenyl ring (C15 - C20) with p1 are 55.48 (1) and 64.80 (1)°, respectively. The dihedral angles between the benzene rings is 34.89 (1)°. The crystal packing (Fig. 2) is stabilized by van der Waals forces.

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 derivatives are an important class of nitrogen containing heterocycles and constitute useful intermediates in organic synthesis which have been reported for their applications in the fields of dyes (Brock et al., 1999) and have also been used as building blocks for the synthesis of organic semiconductors (Dailey et al., 2001). Tetrahydroquinoxaline derivatives are important from a therapeutic point of view since promising anti HIV agents (Patel et al., 2000), glucogen receptor antagonists (Guillon et al., 1998) and angiotens in receptor antagonists (Kim et al., 1993) possess this ring system. The title compound (I) was synthesized as part of our study of these ligands. Here we report the crystal structure of (I).
The structure of (I) is represented in Fig. 1. The bond lengths and angles are usual for this type of compound (Rong et al., 2006). The mean planes p1(C1 - C6) and p2 (N1,N2,C7 - C14) make a dihedral angle of 57.23 (1)°. The dihedral angles formed by phenyl ring(C8 –C13) and phenyl ring (C15 - C20) with p1 are 55.48 (1) and 64.80 (1)°, respectively. The dihedral angles between the benzene rings is 34.89 (1)°. The crystal packing (Fig. 2) is stabilized by van der Waals forces.
