Abstract:
The title compounds, C(32)H(28)N(2)O(4), (I), and C(32)H(28)N(2)S(4), (II), respectively, are tetrasubstituted pyrazines and both possess C(i) symmetry. They differ only in the hetero atom (X) of the -CH(2)XPh side-arm substituents: X = O in (I) and S in (II). Compound (I) has an overall S-shape with a pair of adjacent -CH(2)OPh side arms alternately above and below the plane of the central pyrazine ring. The phenyl rings are inclined to one another by 12.63 (18) degrees and there is one intramolecular C-H...O hydrogen bond involving adjacent -CH(2)OPh side arms. In compound (II), adjacent -CH(2)SPh side arms point in opposite directions with respect to the pyrazine ring plane, with the phenyl rings inclined at 60.45 (8) degrees. Both structures have weak C-H...pi intermolecular interactions.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
