(Received 5 October 2012; accepted 9 October 2012; online 13 October 2012)

In the title compound, C7H10N2O2, the dimethyl­amino group is twisted slightly relative to the acrylate fragment, forming a dihedral angle of 11.6 (1)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked via pairs of bifurcated C—H/H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers, which are further connected by C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds into chains along the a-axis direction.

Comment top

Enamines are the multipurpose synthetic intermediates used for the synthesis of a variety of organic derivatives, bioactive natural products and their analogs (Huang et al., 2007; Michael et al., 1999).

In (I)(Fig.1), all bond lengths and angles are normal and correspond to those observed in the related structure (Gupta et al., 2007). The dihedral angle between dimethylamino and acrylate fragment is 11.6 (1)°. In the crystal, C3—H3···O1 and C4—H4A···O1 hydrogen bonds link molecules to form dimers. Dimers are further connected by C—H···N hydrogen bonds into chains along the a axis (Fig. 2, Table 1.).

Experimental top

In a 50 ml round bottom flask the mixture of 5 mmole of methyl cyanoacetate and 5 mmole of dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal was stirred at room temperature for 1–1.5 h. After completion of reaction, the reaction mixture was poured on ice cold water and the separated solid was precipated after 15 minutes and recrystallized from ethanol. Yield: 87%; m.p. 378–380 K. IR(KBr): 2205, 1695, 1621, 1433, 1373, 1287, 1216 1/cm

Refinement top

All H atoms were positioned geometrically and were treated as riding on their parent C atoms, with C—H distances of 0.93–0.96 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C).

Experimental. CrysAlis PRO, Oxford Diffraction Ltd., Version 1.171.34.40 (release 27–08-2010 CrysAlis171. NET) (compiled Aug 27 2010,11:50:40) Empirical absorption correction using spherical harmonics, implemented in SCALE3 ABSPACK scaling algorithm.

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.
