Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C11H12N2O2·H2O, contains a mol-ecule of 1,4,6-trimethyl-1,4-di-hydro-quinoxaline-2,3-dione and a solvent water mol-ecule. Four atoms of the benzene ring are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.706 (7):0.294 (7) ratio while the N-bound methyl groups are rotationally disordered with occupancy ratios of 0.78 (4):0.22 (4) and 0.76 (5):0.24 (5). In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into layers lying parallel to (10). The Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the packing arrangement are due to H⋯H (51.3%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (28.6%) inter-actions. The mol-ecular structure calculated by density functional theory is compared with the experimentally determined mol-ecular structure, and the HOMO-LUMO energy gap has been calculated.
