The title compound, 3-amino-5-methyl-5-(4-pyridyl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione, C9H10N4O2, was obtained by reaction of 5-methyl-5-(4-pyridyl)hydantoin with hydrazine. It crystallizes as a racemate in the tetragonal space group I41/a with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angle between the pyridine ring and the five-membered hydantoin ring is 47.99 (3)° In the crystal structure, molecules are joined in a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network by N-H
N and N-HO links.
3-Amino-5-methyl-5-(4-pyridyl)hydantoin was synthesized by dissolving 5-methyl-5(4-pyridyl)hydantoin (1.91 g, 10 mmol) in 98% N2H4.H2O (5 cm3) and refluxing the solution for 2 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and water (15 cm3) was added. The solution was placed in refrigerator for 24 h. The white product was filtered off, recrystallized from ethanol and dried at 373 K for 5 h. The purity was checked by TLC. The substance is soluble in DMSO and weakly soluble in water and ethanol. Yield: 1.26 g, 61%, m.p. = 523.2–524.7 K. Crystals, suitable for X-ray data collection were grown by slow evaporation from ethanol solution at 277 K. Analysis calculated for C9H10N4O2: C 52.42, H 4.89, N 27.17%. Found: C 52.23, H 4.46, N 26.83%. λM = 0.979 S.cm2.mol-1; IR(pellets KBr)/cm-1: 3314.0, 3276.0, 1766.9, 1713.0, 1597.2 and 1411.1. 1H NMR (250 MHz; DMSO-d6): 8.95 (1H, s, N(1)—H), 8.59 (2H, d, J=7 Hz, H-2, H-6), 7.50 (2H, d, J=7 Hz, H-3, H-5), 4.80 (2H, s, NH2), 1.66 (3H, s, CH3). 13C NMR (62.5 MHz; DMSO-d6): 172.7 (C=O-4`), 155.5 (C=O-2`), 150.0 (C-2,C-6), 148.4 (C-4), 120.6 (C-3, C-5), 60.8 (C-5`), 24.7 (CH3).
H atoms were placed at calculated positions [N—H = 0.88 Å, C—H = 0.95 and 0.98 Å] and refined as riding atoms in the subsequent least squares model refinements, except two hydrogen atoms at N4 which were localized from difference map. The isotropic thermal parameters of hydrogen atoms in the positions of which were calculated were estimated to be 1.2 or 1.5 times the values of the equivalent isotropic thermal parameters of the atoms to which H atoms were bonded.

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

Some hydantoin derivatives are biologically active molecules with anticonvulsive, antiarythmic, antimicrobial, antiviral or cytostatic activitiy (Rajic et al., 2006; Bazil et al., 1998). 5-Methyl-5-(4-pyridyl)hydantoin was synthesized by Chu (Chu et al. 1958). This compound was used as starting material for preparation of new 3-amino-5-methyl-5-(4-pyridyl)hydantoin (AMPH). These hydantoin derivatives were utilized as carrier ligands for synthesis of new platinum and palladium complexes with potential cytotoxic activity. (Bakalova et al., 2008, 2009). In the recent work we synthesized AMPH (I) by the method of Davidson (Davidson, 1964) with some modifications. The new compound was characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and molar conductivity. Suitable crystals of AMPH for X-ray diffraction analysis have been isolated and its structure was determined. The result of X-ray diffraction study of 3-amino-5-methyl-5-(4-pyridyl)hydantoin is shown in Fig. 1. The racemic compound crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I41/a with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The presence of the sp3-hybridized chiral carbon atom C1 is responsible for the dihedral angle between the pyridine ring and five-membered C3N2 ring of ca 48°. The sum of the angles around N4 is clearly smaller than 360° (327.0°), indicating its trigonal-pyramidal configuration. The lone-pair region at N4 is directed towards adjacent atom O1. The secondary amine nitrogen N2 acts as a proton donor in an intermolecular bifurcated hydrogen bonding interactions with the nitrogen atom N4 and oxygen atom O2 of the neighbouring molecule of AMPH (Fig. 2) The hydrazinic atom N4 is involved in two intermolecular H bonds with the atoms O1ii and O1iii of the two different neighbouring molecules (Table 1).
