The title compound, C20H30N2O2, has crystallographically imposed C2 symmetry; the hexyl side chain adopts a tttg (t = trans and g = gauche) conformation. In the crystal, C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains extending along the b-axis direction. These chains pack to form zigzag sheets lying parallel to (101).

Structure description

This work was carried out in a continuation of our previous work on the synthesis and crystal structures of new quinoxaline-2,3-dione derivatives (Ferfra et al., 2001[Ferfra, S., Ahabchane, N. H., Mustaphi, N. E., Essassi, E. M., Bellan, J. & Pierrot, M. (2001). Phosphorus Sulfur Silicon, 175, 169-181.]; El Bourakadi et al., 2017a[El Bourakadi, K., El Bakri, Y., Sebhaoui, J., Rayni, I., Essassi, E. M. & Mague, J. T. (2017a). IUCrData, 2, x170520.],b[El Bourakadi, K., El Bakri, Y., Sebhaoui, J., Rayni, I., Essassi, E. M. & Mague, J. T. (2017b). IUCrData, 2, x170656.]).

The title mol­ecule (Fig. 1[link]) has crystallographically imposed C2 rotation symmetry. In the bicyclic unit, the dihedral angle between the two rings is 3.64 (7)°. The n-hexyl side chain adopts a tttg (t = trans and g = gauche) conformation, as indicated by the following torsion angles: N1—C5—C6—C7 = 178.85 (13)°, C5—C6—C7—C8 = −179.63 (15)°, C6—C7—C8—C9 = −179.30 (16)°, and C7—C8—C9—C10 = 70.8 (3)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules form chains extending along the b-axis direction through C1—H1⋯O1 hydrogen bonds (Table 1[link] and Fig. 2[link]). These chains pack to form zigzag sheets lying parallel to (101), possibly aided by weak C5—H5a⋯π(Cg2) inter­actions [Cg2 is the centroid of the aromatic ring at (−x + [{3\over 2}], y − [{1\over 2}], −z + [{3\over 2}])], with H⋯Cg = 3.84 Å and C—H⋯Cg = 138° (Fig. 3[link]).

Synthesis and crystallization

A mixture of quinoxaline-2,3-dione (1.0 g, 6.17 mmol), potassium carbonate (1.7 g, 12.33 mmol), bromo­hexane (1.73 ml, 12.33 mmol) and tetra-n-butyl­ammonium bromide as a catalyst in N,N-di­methyl­formamide (60 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 48 h. After completion of the reaction (monitored by thin-layer chromatography), the solvent was removed under vacuum and the residue was chromatographed on a silica-gel column using hexane and ethyl acetate (80:20 v/v) as eluent. The compound obtained was recrystallzed from ethanol solution to afford the title compound as colourless blocks.

Special details top

Experimental. The diffraction data were collected in three sets of 363 frames (0.5° width in ω) at φ = 0, 120 and 240°. A scan time of 60 sec/frame was used.

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. H-atoms attached to carbon were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.95 - 0.99 Å). All were included as riding contributions with isotropic displacement parameters 1.2 - 1.5 times those of the attached atoms.
