A 2:1 cocrystal of 2,3-bis(4-bromophenyl)quinoxaline and 1,2-bis(4-bromophenyl)ethane-1,2-diol

Abstract

The title compound, C20H12Br2N2·0.5C14H12Br2O2, was synthesized by the one-pot reaction of benzofurazan oxide and 1,2-bis(4-bromophenyl)ethane-1,2-dione induced by a low-valent titanium reagent. X-ray analysis reveals that the 1,2-bis(4-bromophenyl)ethane-1,2-diol molecule is located on an inversion centre. The molecules are linked via O—H...N hydrogen bonds and C—H...π interactions.
