1-Allyl-3-phenylquinoxalin-2(1H)-one

The title compound, C17H14N2O, crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the quinoxaline ring system and the phenyl ring in the two molecules are 38.27 (10) and 37.14 (8)°. In the crystal, π-stacking along the b axis contributes to the crystal cohesion with an average distance between quinoxaline units of 3.397 (3) Å. Weak C—H⋯O interactions also occur.
