Abstract
In the title compound, C10H8ClN3, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 43.0 (1)° and the bridging C—N—C angle is 128.19 (16)°. The amino N atom of one molecule forms a hydrogen bond to the 1-N atom of an adjacent pyrazinyl ring, generating an inversion dimer.

supplementary crystallographic information
Experimental
2-Chloropyrazine (1.15 g, 10 mmol) and 4-chloroaniline (1.28 g, 10 mmol) were mixed with ethanol (2 ml) and the mixture heated at 423–433 K for 3 h. The product was dissolved in water and the solution extracted with ether. The ether phase was dried over sodium sulfate; the evaporation of the solvent gave well shaped crystals along with some unidentified brown material.
Refinement
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2Ueq(C).
The amino H-atom was located in a difference Fourier map, and was refined with a distance restraint of N–H 0.88±0.01 Å; its temperature factor was freely refined.
