In the title molecule, C23H19ClN2, the heterocyclic ring adopts a screw-boat conformation, with all substituents equatorial. The benzene ring at position 2 makes dihedral angles of 77.88 (12) and 76.31 (12)° with the phenyl rings at positions 5 and 6, respectively. The dihedral angle between the phenyl rings at positions 5 and 6 is 70.05 (10)°. The Cl atom is disordered over two positions with occupancy factors of 0.946 (5) and 0.054 (5).

To a homogeneous solution of benzil (1.05 g, 0.005 mol) and 1-methyl-2-(2'-chlorophenyl)-ethanediamine dihydrochloride (1.29 g, 0.005 mol) in ethanol (20 ml), sodium acetate trihydrate (2.04 g, 0.015 mol) was added. The precipitated sodium chloride was filtered off and the filtrate was refluxed for 2 h. On completion of the reaction, as indicated by TLC, the reaction mixture was poured into crushed ice and the resulting solid was filtered and purified by
on silica gel. Elution with benzene-petroleum ether (3:2 v/v) at 333–353 K gave the pure product (1.68 g) in 76% yield. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were obtained by recrystallization of the pure product from ethyl acetate.H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with Csp2—H = 0.93 Å, C(methine)—H = 0.98 Å and C(methyl)—H = 0.96 Å; Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.5 for methyl H and 1.2 for all other H atoms. The Cl atom is disordered over two positions. Its occupancy ratio refined to 0.946 (5):0.054 (5).
Heterocyclic ring systems having the dihydropyrazine nucleus have aroused great interest in the past and recent years due to their wide variety of biological properties (Sondhi et al., 2005). Dihydropyrazines are used to break DNA strands and inhibit bacterial growth (Takechi et al., 2011). In addition, these compounds have inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli (Takeda et al., 2005). Anuradha et al. (2009) have reported the
of 2-methyl-3,5,6-triphenyl-2,3-dihydropyrazine, in which the heterocyclic ring adopts a screw-boat conformation.In the title molecule, C23H19ClN2, the heterocyclic ring adopts a screw-boat conformation, with all substituents equatorial. The benzene ring at position 2 makes dihedral angles of 77.88 (12)° and 76.31 (12)° with the phenyl rings at position 5 and 6, respectively. The dihedral angle between the phenyl rings at positions 5 and 6 is 70.05 (10)° (Fig. 1). A C24—H24···π interaction involving the phenyl (C61—C66) ring, a C53—H53···π interaction involving the benzene (C21—C26) ring and a C64—H64···π interaction involving the phenyl (C51—C56) ring are also found in the (Table 1). The Cl atom is disordered over two positions. Its occupancy ratio refined to 0.946 (5):0.054 (5).

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
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 > 2σ(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. To allow for a stable and meaningful refinement of the Cl atoms, the C—Cl bonding distances were restrained to be the same (DFIX 1.76 0.02 C22 Cl1 C22 Cl2 and EADP Cl1 Cl2). |

Heterocyclic ring systems having the dihydropyrazine nucleus have aroused great interest in the past and recent years due to their wide variety of biological properties (Sondhi et al., 2005). Dihydropyrazines are used to break DNA strands and inhibit bacterial growth (Takechi et al., 2011). In addition, these compounds have inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli (Takeda et al., 2005). Anuradha et al. (2009) have reported the crystal structure of 2-methyl-3,5,6-triphenyl-2,3-dihydropyrazine, in which the heterocyclic ring adopts a screw-boat conformation.
In the title molecule, C23H19ClN2, the heterocyclic ring adopts a screw-boat conformation, with all substituents equatorial. The benzene ring at position 2 makes dihedral angles of 77.88 (12)° and 76.31 (12)° with the phenyl rings at position 5 and 6, respectively. The dihedral angle between the phenyl rings at positions 5 and 6 is 70.05 (10)° (Fig. 1). A C24—H24···π interaction involving the phenyl (C61—C66) ring, a C53—H53···π interaction involving the benzene (C21—C26) ring and a C64—H64···π interaction involving the phenyl (C51—C56) ring are also found in the crystal structure (Table 1). The Cl atom is disordered over two positions. Its occupancy ratio refined to 0.946 (5):0.054 (5).
