The ten-membered fused ring system in the title compound, C21H16N2O2, is planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.03 Å). The phenyl substituent is aligned at 15.1 (1)° with respect to the mean plane through this system, whereas the phenyl ring of the benzyl substitutent is aligned at 84.4 (1)°.

Experimental top

To a solution of 3-phenylquinoxalin-2(1H)-one (1 g, 4.5 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 ml) was added benzyl chloride (0.62 ml, 5.4 mmol), potassium carbonate (0.74 g; 5.4 mmol) and a catalytic quantity of tetra-n-butylammonium bromide. The mixture was stirred 24 h. The solution was filtered to remove the salts and the solvent then removed under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from ethanol to afford yellow crystals in 85% yield.

Refinement top

Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95 to 0.99 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with Uiso(H) set to 1.2Ueq(C). The amino H-atom was located in a difference Fourier map and was refined with an N–H 0.88±0.01 Å restraint.
