The title compound, C17H13N3O2S, was prepared by reaction of 4-(4-pyridyl)pyrimidine-2-thiol with 3-(bromomethyl)benzoic acid under basic conditions. Each pair of molecules is mutually linked via O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a dimer. The packing of the dimers is stablized by C—H⋯π interactions involving the methylene unit of the –CH2S– linkage and benzene rings.

The mixture of 4-(4-pyridyl)pyrimidine-2-thiol (0.1890 g,1.0 mmol), 3-(bromomethyl)benzoic acid (0.2150 g,1.0 mmol), NaOH (0.0400 g,1.0 mmol) in 30 ml of H2O was refluxed for 10 h. After cooled to room temperature, the product was filtered and dried in vaccum. The single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of the title compound in DMF solution.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å for aromatic H atoms, 0.97 Å for methylene H atoms and O—H = 0.82 Å, respectively, and with with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq (C) for aromatic and methylene, Uiso(H) =1.5Ueq (O).

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. |

Heterocyclic thionates (Raper, 1996, 1997) have been extensively studied due to not only their versatile coordination modes but also their close biological relativity. Herein, we report the crystal structure of a new heterocyclic thionate derivative, 3-((4-(4-pyridyl)pyrimidin-2-ylthio)methyl)benzoic acid.
In the molecular structure of the title compound (Fig.1), the pyrimidinyl and pyridinyl rings are not coplanar with the dihedral angle of 11.17 (3)o. Each pair of compound molecules is linked each other via O—H···N hydrogen bonds (Han et.al., 2008) to form a dimer (Fig. 2 and Table 1), and the packing of the dimers is stablized by C—H···π interactions (Choi et al., 2008) between a methylene H atom of the –CH2S– linkage and the phenyl ring, with a C10—H10B···Cg3ii separation of 2.56 Å (Fig. 3 and Table 1; Cg3 is the centroid of the C11/C12/C13/C14/C15/C16 phenyl ring, symmetry code as in Fig. 3).
