In the 18H11FN4, the pyridopyrazine system makes dihedral angles of 45.51 (7) and 44.75 (7)° with the attached 4-fluorophenyl ring and the pyridine ring, respectively. The 4-fluorophenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 54.54 (8)° with the pyridine ring. The pyridine ring part of the pyridopyrazine ring and the pyrazine ring of two c-glide-plane-related molecules form π–π interactions. The angle between the planes is 2.09 (7)° and the distance between the centroids is 3.557 (1)Å.

1-(4-Fluorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)ethane-1,2-dione (113 mg, 0.5 mmol), and 2,3-diaminopyridine (54 mg, 0.5 mmol), and methanol/glacial acetic acid (2 ml, 9:1, V:V) were combined in a reaction vial. The reaction vessel was heated in a microwave reactor for 5 min at 433 K (initial power 250 W), after which a stream of compressed air cooled the reaction vessel to r.t. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by flash-chromatography (silica gel, petroleum ether/ethyl acetate 1–4 to 0–1) to yield 65 mg (43%) of II as a colorless solid. Suitable crystals of compound II for X-ray were obtained by slow evaporation at 298 K of a solution of n-hexane - diethyl ether (2–1).
Hydrogen atoms attached to carbons were placed at calculated positions with C—H = 0.95 Å (aromatic C-atom). All H atoms were refined in the riding-model approximation with isotropic displacement parameters (set at 1.2 times of the Ueq of the parent atom).

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. |

The title compound, 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(pyridin-4-yl)pyrido[3,2-b]pyrazine (II), was prepared in the course of our studies on pyridin-4-yl-substituted pyridopyrazines as potent p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase inhibitors.
The microwave-assisted reaction of 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)ethane-1,2-dione and 2,3-diaminopyridine yields two regioisomers, 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine (I) and 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(pyridin-4-yl)pyrido[3,2-b]pyrazine (II) (Figure I). The isomers were separated by flash-chromatography. To identify the two regioisomers x-ray analysis was used. In this article we present the x-ray data of the last eluted isomer II.
As might be expected the 4-fluorophenyl, the pyridine ring as well as the pyridopyrazine ring are planar (Figure 2). The pyridopyrazine ring makes dihedral angles of 45.51 (7)° and 44.75 (7)° to the 4-fluorophenyl ring and the pyridine ring, respectively. The 4-fluorophenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 54.54 (8)° to the pyridine ring. The pyridine ring part of the pyridopyrazine ring and the pyrazine ring of two by c-glide plane related molecules forms π-π interactions. The angle between the planes is 2.09 (7)° and the distance of the centroids 3.557 (1) Å.
