Comment top

Among the derivatives of dihydropyrimidine, the derivatives of benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]-pyrimidine have been reported to have a variety of biological activities, such as antineoplastic activity (Abdel-Hafez, 2007), protein kinase inhibitor (Nunes, Zhu, Amouzegh et al., 2005), T cell activation (Nunes, Zhu, Ermann et al., 2005), TIE-2 and/or VEGFR2 inhibitory activities (Cheung et al., 2002). This led us to pay much attention to the synthesis and bioactivity of these important fused heterocyclic compounds. To further study the relationship between structure and bioactivity, we synthesised a series of derivatives of benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]-pyrimidine. Here we report the crystal structure of the title compound.

In the title molecule (Fig.1), the pyrimidine ring adopts a sofa conformation. The phenyl ring is almost perpendicular to the pyrimidine plane [dihedral angle 89.00 (3)°].

The crystal packing is stabilized by an N—H···N hydrogen bond, and a C—H···π interaction (Table 1, Fig. 2).

Experimental top

The title compound was synthesized by the reaction of benzaldehyde (1 mmol), 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (1 mmol) and 1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-amine (1 mmol) in 3-butyl-1-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride (1.5 mL) at 363 K for a certain time (monitered by TLC). After cooling, the reaction mixture was washed with water and recrystallized from ethanol, to obtain single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction.

Refinement top

The hydrogen atom bonded to the nitrogen atom was located in a Fourier difference map and was refined with a distance restraint of 0.90 Å with an estimated standard deviation of 0.01 Å. Other H atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å) and included in the final cycles of refinement using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
