The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C11H14N2O2, contains one half-molecule as the central C atom of the molecule lies on a twofold rotation axis. In the crystal structure, weak intermolecular C-H
N hydrogen bonds link the molecules into zigzag chains along c.
2,4-Pentanedione (50 mmol) was dissolved in n-hexane (40 ml) and anhydrous potassium carbonate (100 mmol) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (0.5 g) added. Acrylonitrile (100 mmol) was added dropwise to this solution and the mixture refluxed for 6 h. 50 ml ethyl acetate were then added, the organic layer was filtered and the solvent removed under vacuum to yield the crude product (I). This was crystallized from ethyl acetate (15 ml). Crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of acetonitrile.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.96 and 0.97 Å for methyl and methylene H atoms, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x= 1.5 for methyl H and x = 1.2 for methylene H atoms.

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

The biological activity of aminothiazoles has been well documented. They have broad applications in the treatment of allergies, hypertension, schizophrenia,inflammation, bacterial infections, and HIV (Kabalka & Mereddy, 2006). Dicarbonyl compounds represent an important class of starting materials materials used to increase the carbon number of organic compounds (Kim et al., 2001). Many dicarbonyl compounds have been synthesized by the Michael addition method using diethyl malonate as starting compound, but only a few Michael addition diadducts were synthesized under normal conditions (Ranu & Banerjee, 2005; Ranu et al., 2006). We are focusing our synthetic and structural studies on new products of Michael addition reactions from dicarbonyl compounds (Wang et al.,2008) and we report here the crystal structure of the title compound (I), Fig. 1.
All bond lengths are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). The asymmetric unit contains one half-molecule, and the central C4 atom lies on a twofold rotation axis at right angles to the ac plane, which generates the other half-molecule. In the crystal structure weak, intermolecular C6—H6B···N hydrogen bonds link the molecules into zig-zag chains along the c axis, Table 1, Fig 2.
