The tetrahydropyrimidinone ring in the title compound, C20H20N2O2, is in a half-boat conformation with the N-C-N C atom 0.580 (2) Å out of the plane defined by the remaining five atoms. In the crystal structure, molecules are connected into centrosymmetric dimers via N-H
O interactions. The dimeric aggregates are linked into supramolecular chains along the a axis via C-H
interactions.
A 50 ml flask under N2 atmosphere was charged with potassium phenyltrifluoroborate (1.2 mmol), (S)-5-iodopyrimidinone 3 (1.0 mmol, 370 mg), Pd(OAc)2 (9 mol%, 20.02 mg), K2CO3 (2 mmol, 276 mg), and 16 ml of degassed dioxane/H2O (3/1). The reaction mixture was refluxed at 383 K and the reaction followed by TLC and GC. After completion, the reaction mixture was cooled and then extracted with ethyl acetate (3 × 50 ml). The organic layers were combined, dried (MgSO4), and the solvent removed under vacuum to give a viscous oil. The oil was purified via column chromatography using a mixture of ethyl acetate/hexane (1:1) as the eluent. Single crystals of (I) were obtained by slow evaporation from ethyl acetate.
The H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry using a riding model with N—H = 0.93 Å and C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å, and with Uiso set to 1.2 times (1.5 for methyl) Ueq(parent atom).

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

As part of our on-going research interest efforts exploring the chemistry of potassium organotrifluoroborate salts, including their potential use as intermediates in organic synthesis (Caracelli et al., 2007; Stefani et al., 2007; Vieira et al. 2008), we have started to use the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction as a new tool to synthesize β-amino acids. Herein, the crystal structure of (I) is described.
The molecular structure of (I), Fig. 1, shows the tetrahydropyrimidinone ring to adopt a half-boat conformation with the C2 atom being displaced 0.580 (2) Å out of the plane defined by the remaining five atoms. The ring-puckering parameters are q2 = 0.374 (2) Å, q3 = 0.187 (1) Å, Q = 0.418 (2) Å, and φ2 = 54.0 (2)° (Cremer & Pople, 1975; Iulek & Zukerman-Schpector, 1997). The dihedral angle between the aryl rings is 55.55 (8)°. The deviation of the torsion angle C4—C5—C14—C15 from the ideal value of 60°, which would indicate bisection of the dihydripyrimidinone ring by the plane of the phenyl ring, is of 15.7°.
In the crystal packing, centrosymmetric dimers are formed being consolidated by eight-membered {O═C—N—H···}2 synthons, Table 1. The carbonyl-O2 atom is involved in an intramolecular C—H···O contact with the C—H2 atom (2.34 Å) and does not particiate in a significant intermolecular contact. The aggregates thus formed are linked into supramolecular chains, Fig. 2, aligned along the a axis via C—H···π interactions: C9—H9···Cg(C14–C19)i = 2.82 Å, C9···Cg(C14–C19)i = 3.632 (2) Å with an angle of 147° at H9; symmetry operation i: 1 - x, -y, -z.
