The title chloro-substituted 2-aminopyrimidine, C4H3Cl2N3, is a second monoclinic polymorph of this compound which crystallizes in the C2/c. The structure was previously reported [Clews & Cochran (1948). Acta Cryst. 1, 4–11] in the P21/a. There are two crystallographically independent molecules in the and each molecule is planar. The dihedral angle between the two pyrimidine rings is 30.71 (12)°. In the molecules are linked via N—H⋯N intermolecular hydrogen bonds, forming infinite one-dimensional chains along the a axis. These hydrogen bonds generate R22(8) ring motifs. The chains are stacked along the b axis.

Phosphorus oxy-chloride (POCl3) (25 ml) was added to anhydrous 2-amino-4,6-dioxopyrimidine (6 g) and the mixture refluxed at 383 K for 12 h. Excess POCl3 was distilled off. The solid residue was neutralized using KOH solution in an ice bath and saturated NaHCO3 solution was added. The solid residue was filtered off, extracted with CHCl3 and the solution was dried over Na2SO4 and then concentrated under vacuum. The crude product was purified by
using 20% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether as and the title compound (I) (4.29 g, 61%) was isolated. Single crystals were grown by slow evaporation of a CH2Cl2/ethanol (v/v 3:1) solution, Mp. 492–494 K.All H atoms were located in a difference map and freely refined isotropically. The highest residual electron density peak is located at 1.00 Å from N2A and the deepest hole is located at 0.81 Å from H2NA.

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. |

Functionalized pyrimidines play a major role in the synthesis of different drug molecules and of naturally occurring pyrimidine bases (Blackburn & Gait, 1996; Brown, 1988; Hurst, 1980). Substituted pyrimidines are also very important for studies on multiple hydrogen bonding interactions in molecular recognition and supramolecular chemistry (Sherrington & Taskinen, 2001; Goswami et al., 2008a,b; Ligthart et al., 20050). In this work we report the crystal structure of the title compound, Fig 1, which is a second monoclinic polymorph of 2-amino-4,6-dichloropyrimidine.
The crystal structure of the title compound (I) was previously reported by Clews & Cochran (1948) in the monoclinic space group P21/a, with a = 16.447, b = 3.845, c = 10.283 Å, β = 107.58° and Z = 4. In the present work, the compound crystallized out in the monoclinic space group C2/c with Z = 16. There are two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, A and B, (see Fig. 1) with slightly different bond lengths and bond angles. Both molecules A and B are planar with maximum deviations of 0.005 (2) Å for atom N2A in A and 0.009 (2) Å for atom C2B in B. The dihedral angle between the two pyrimidine rings is 30.71 (12)°. The amino group acts as a double donor in N—H···N hydrogen bonds, while the two ring N atoms (N1 and N2) act as the acceptors. The molecules are linked via N—H···N intermolecular hydrogen bonds to form infinite one-dimensional chains along the a axis, Table 1. These hydrogen bonds generate R22(8) ring motifs (Bernstein at al., 1995) (Fig. 2). Interestingly, the Cl atoms do not form N—H···Cl hydrogen bonds. The closest Cl···Cl distance is 3.3635 (11) Å [3.37 Å in Clews & Cochran (1948)]. The bond lengths and angles in (I) are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987) and comparable to those found in related structures (Clews & Cochran, 1948; Low et al., 2002).
In the crystal packing shown in Fig. 2, the [1 0 0] molecular chains are stacked along the b axis.
