In the title compound, C20H14N2O2·C3H7NO, the quinoxaline ring forms dihedral angles of 64.9 (2) and 30.9 (2)° with the two substituted benzene rings, which are themselves inclined at 58.4 (2)°. An intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, molecules are linked through intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The compound was prepared according to a literature procedure (Reich et al., 2004). Yellow block-shaped crystals suitable for X-ray structural determination were obtained by slow diffusion of diethyl ether into a N,Ndimethylformamide solution.
H atoms were placed in idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H distances of 0.93-0.96 Å, O—H distances of 0.82 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) and 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl and O). In the absence of significant
effects, 1843 Friedel opposites were merged in the final refinement.Reich and co-workers have reported a series of compounds with the cyanide-catalyzed cyclizations via aldimine coupling (Reich et al., 2004), including the
of 2,2'-(quinoxaline-2,3-diyl)diphenol. In this paper, the title compound, Fig. 1, 2,2'-(quinoxaline-2,3-diyl)diphenol as the N,Ndimethylformamide solvate is formed in an aldimine coupling reaction and its structure is reported here.In the compound, the dimethylformamide molecule is linked to the 2,2'-(quinoxaline-2,3-diyl)diphenol molecule through an intermolecular O2—H2···O3 hydrogen bond (Table 1 and Fig. 2). The quinoxaline ring forms dihedral angles of 64.9 (2) and 30.9 (2)°, respectively, with the two substituted benzene rings C9-C14 and C15-C20. The dihedral angle between the two substituted benzene rings is 58.4 (2)°. An intramolecular O1—H1···N1 hydrogen bond (Table 1) is observed in the 2,2'-(quinoxaline-2,3-diyl)diphenol molecule.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 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. |

Reich and co-workers have reported a series of compounds with the cyanide-catalyzed cyclizations via aldimine coupling (Reich et al., 2004), including the crystal structure of 2,2'-(quinoxaline-2,3-diyl)diphenol. In this paper, the title compound, Fig. 1, 2,2'-(quinoxaline-2,3-diyl)diphenol as the N,Ndimethylformamide solvate is formed in an aldimine coupling reaction and its structure is reported here.
In the compound, the dimethylformamide molecule is linked to the 2,2'-(quinoxaline-2,3-diyl)diphenol molecule through an intermolecular O2—H2···O3 hydrogen bond (Table 1 and Fig. 2). The quinoxaline ring forms dihedral angles of 64.9 (2) and 30.9 (2)°, respectively, with the two substituted benzene rings C9-C14 and C15-C20. The dihedral angle between the two substituted benzene rings is 58.4 (2)°. An intramolecular O1—H1···N1 hydrogen bond (Table 1) is observed in the 2,2'-(quinoxaline-2,3-diyl)diphenol molecule.
