Novel nitrogen-rich compound featured bicyclic quinoxaline as a basic core structure has been synthesized, 1-{[1-(3-azido-2-hydroxypropyl)-1H-1,-2,3-triazol-4-yl]methyl}-3-methyl-1,2-dihydroquinoxalin-2-one with formula C 15 H 16 N 8 O 2 , and their structural and chemical reactivity aspects have been comprehensively discussed. Nature, role, and relative contribution of weak noncovalent interactions in supramolecular assembly have been assessed through single-crystal analysis and computational approaches. Useful information about the global and local reactivity were obtained from Conceptual Density Functional Theory at wB97X-D/cc-pVDZ level. Studied system could act as strong electrophile and/or moderate nucleophile in polar organic reactions. We hope this study will provide deeper insight in the knowledge of the synthesis and chemistry of the quinoxaline and quinoxaline derivatives.

In the title molecule, C23H28N2O, the phenyl ring is inclined to the quinoxaline ring system at a dihedral angle of 20.40 (9)°. In the crystal, C—H...O interactions between neighbouring molecules form chains along the a-axis direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H...H (70.6%), H...C/C...H (15.5%) and H...O/O...H (4.6%) interactions. The optimized structure calculated using density functional theory at the B3LYP/6–311 G(d,p) level is compared with the experimentally determined structure in the solid state. The calculated highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy gap is 3.8904 eV. Part of the n-nonyl chain attached to one of the nitrogen atoms of the quinoxaline ring system shows disorder and was refined with a double conformation with occupancies of 0.604 (11) and 0.396 (11).
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.
