In the title compound, C16H16Cl2N4, the imidazole ring mean plane makes a dihedral angle of 70.01 (1)° with the phenyl ring. The Cl atoms deviate by −0.0472 (6) and 0.0245 (8) Å from the plane of their attached benzene ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked via pairs of C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers.

2-aminopyrazine (1.0 mmol) was placed in oven-dried round bottom flask, dissolved in EtOH (5.0 mL) and stirred at room temperature. 2,6-dichlorobenzaldehyde (1.0 mmol), tert-butyl isocyanide (1.0 mmol) and Iodine (2.0 mol%) were added together and the mixture stirred, progress of the reaction was monitored by using TLC, at room temperature for one hour. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the crude product was partitioned between EtOAc and water. The organic phase was separated, and the residual product in the aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (2 × 10 mL). The combined organic extract was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated and purified using
(silica gel 60-120 mesh, elutent: 5% EtOAc in hexane).M.p: 421 - 423 k, IR (KBr, cm-1): 3353 (NH). After two weeks a colourless crystalline solid separated out. It was washed with a minimum amount of ethanol and then dried in a vacuum oven; a crystal was chosen for X-ray diffraction studies from this sample.The H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined as riding atoms: C—H = 0.93 and 0.96 Å for CH and CH3 H atoms, respectively, with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C-methyl) and = 1.2Ueq(C) for other H atoms.

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. |

The pyrazine ring system is a useful structural element in medicinal chemistry and has found broad applications in drug development such as antiproliferative agents (Dubinina et al., 2006), potent CXCR3 antagonists (Du et al., 2009), CB1 antagonists (Ellsworth et al., 2007) and c-Src inhibitors (Mukaiyama et al., 2007). On-going structural studies of heterocyclic N-containing derivatives (Nasir et al., 2010) are motivated by an investigation of their fluorescence properties (Kawai et al., 2001; Abdullah, 2005). For multidrug-resistant Tuberculosis (Dooley et al., 1992), antifungal and antimycobacterial activity (Banfi et al. 2006) and bactericidal effects (Jackson et al. 2000), the use of imidazole based compounds were reported. In view of the different applications of this class of compounds, we have undertaken a single-crystal structure determination of the title compound.
In the titled compound, Fig.1, the imidazole ring (N2/N3/C3/C5/C6) makes a dihedral angle of 1.06 (9)° with the pyrazine ring (N1/N3/C1-C4), and a dihedral angle of 70.01 (1)° with the phenyl ring (C7-C12). The dihedral angle between the pyrazine ring and the phenyl ring is 69.54 (1)°. The chlorine atoms Cl1 and Cl2 attached to the phenyl ring deviate by -0.0472 (6)Å and 0.0245 (8)Å.
In the crystal, molecules are linked via pairs of C—H···N hydrogen bonds forming inversion dimers (Table 1 and Fig.2).
