Abstract:In the title compound, C22H13ClN2, the quinoxaline ring system is close to planar [maximum deviation = 0.061 (2) Å]. The phenyl ring at the 2-position and the phenyl ring of the phenylethynyl substituent make dihedral angles of 49.32 (7) and 11.99 (7) °, respectively, with the quinoxaline mean plane. The two phenyl rings are inclined to one another by 61.27 (9)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H⋯π and π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.6210 (12) and 3.8091 (12) Å].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
