1-Benzyl-3-methyl-3',5'-diphenyl-spiro-[quinoxaline-2(1H),2'(3'H)-1,3,4-thia-diazole]
Abstract:
In the title spiro compound, C(29)H(24)N(4)S, the quinoxaline and thia-diazole ring systems share a common C atom; their mean planes are aligned at 87.0 (1)° in one mol-ecule and at 84.1 (1)° in the other independent mol-ecule. The thia-zole ring possesses two aromatic ring substituents and is roughly coplanar with these rings [the dihedral angles between the thia-diazole and phenyl rings are 10.7 (1) and 11.7 (1)° in one mol-ecule, and 16.8 (1) and 17.7 (1)° in the other]. The aromatic ring of the benzyl unit of one mol-ecule is disordered over two orientations in a 1:1 ratio.

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...
