In the molecule of the title compound, C19H17ClN2O4, the quinoxaline ring system is planar [maximum deviation = 0.013 (3) Å] and oriented at a dihedral angle of 80.18 (3)° with respect to the benzene ring. In the intermolecular C—H⋯N interactions link molecules into chains. π–π contacts between the quinoxaline systems [centroid–centroid distance = 3.654 (1) Å] may further stabilize the structure.

For the preparation of the title compound, thionyl chloride (3.7 ml, 50 mmol) was added in dropwise to (S)-2-(4-(6-chloroquinoxalin-2-yloxy)phenoxy)propanoate acid (3.72 g, 10 mmol) in an ice bath (263 K). After refluxing for 5 h, the mixture was cooled to room temperature, and excess thionyl chloride was removed by reduced pressure distillation. Then, the residue was dissolved in a solution of ethanol (4.9 ml, 80 mmol) and pyridine (2.5 ml, 30 mmol). The solid residue was extracted with hexane (40 ml) and hexane was distilled off. Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were formed after 8 d in ethyl acetate by slow evaporation at room temperature.
H atoms were positioned geometrically with C-H = 0.93, 0.98, 0.97 and 0.96 Å, for aromatic, methine, methylene and methyl H atoms, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.5 for methyl H and x = 1.2 for aromatic H atoms.

Experimental. 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 > 2sigma(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. |
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. |

The title compound has a potent selective herbicidal activity against annual and perennial grass weeds (Sakata et al., 1985). We report herein its crystal structure.
In the molecule of the title compound (Fig. 1), the bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges. Rings A (C6-C11), B (C13-C18) and C (N1/N2/C12/C13/C18/C19) are, of course, planar, and they are oriented at dihedral angles of A/B = 80.21 (3), A/C = 80.07 (3) and B/C = 0.66 (3) °. The quinoxaline ring system is planar with a maximum deviation of -0.013 (3) Å for atom N1.
In the crystal structure, intermolecular C-H···N interactions link the molecules into chains (Fig. 2), in which they may be effective in the stabilization of the structure. The π–π contact between the quinoxaline rings, Cg2—Cg3i [symmetry code: (i) x, y - 1, z, where Cg2 and Cg3 are centroids of the rings B (C13-C18) and C (N1/N2/C12/C13/C18/C19), respectively] may further stabilize the structure, with centroid-centroid distance of 3.654 (1) Å.
