In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(20)H(16)N(6), the central C-C bond lies on a crystallographic inversion centre. The quinoxalidine ring is nearly planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.021 (2) Å from the mean plane. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular C-H⋯N inter-actions, leading to the formation of a layer-like structure, which extends along the a axis.
