3-Methyl-1-(prop-2-en-1-yl)quinoxalin-2(1H)-one.

In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(12)H(12)N(2)O, the quinoxaline ring is planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.007 (15) Å. The dihedral angle between the quinoxaline and propenyl planes is 82.1 (2)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by offset π-π stacking between the quinoxaline rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.8832 (9) Å].

Experimental. The data collection nominally covered a sphere of reciprocal space, by a combination of seven sets of exposures; each set had a different φ angle for the crystal and each exposure covered 0.5° in ω and 30 s in time. The crystal-to-detector distance was 37.5 mm.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimatedusing 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 > σ(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 datawill be even larger.
