6,7-Dichloro-3-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)quinoxalin-2(1H)-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C15H8Cl4N2O, the quinoxaline ring system is almost planar, with a dihedral angle between the benzene and pyrazine rings of 3.1 (2)°. The 2,4-dichlorophenyl ring is approximately perpendicular to the pyrazine ring, with a dihedral angle of 86.47 (13)° between them. The crystal packing features intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions, with centroid–centroid distances in the range 3.699 (3)–4.054 (3) Å.
