11 H -Indeno[1,2- b ]quinoxalin-11-one oxime ( IQ-1 ) and tryptanthrin-6-oxime are potent c-Jun N-terminal kinase 3 (JNK-3) inhibitors demonstrating neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic activity. However, the stereochemical configuration of the oxime carbon-nitrogen double bond ( E - or Z -) in these compounds was so far unknown. In this contribution, we report the results of the determination of the double bond configuration in the solid state by single crystal X-ray diffraction and in solution by 1D and 2D NMR techniques and DFT calculations. It was found that both in the solid state and in solution, IQ-1 adopts the E -configuration stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonds, in contrast to previously assumed Z -configuration that could be stabilized only by an intramolecular hydrogen bond.
