In the title molecule, C14H16N2O3, the heterocyclic ring adopts a flattened boat conformation, and the plane through its four coplanar atoms makes a dihedral angle of 89.65 (7)° with the benzene ring. The non-H atoms of the carbonyl, acetyl and methyl groups are nearly coplanar with the attached heterocyclic ring. Intermolecular N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are present in the crystal structure.

A solution of acetylacetone (1.00 g, 0.01 mol), anisaldehyde (1.36 g, 0.01 mol) and urea (0.90 g, 0.015 mol) in EtOH (20 ml) was heated under reflux in the presence of calcium chloride (0.11 g, 0.001 mol) for 3 h (monitored by TLC). After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and the reaction mixture was poured into crushed ice and the resulting solid was filtered under suction and purified by
on silica gel. Elution of 1:1 (benzene:ethyl acetate v/v) gave the product in the pure form. Yield 0.86 g (96%).Atoms H1 and H3 were located in a difference map and refined isotropically. The C-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H)= 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C).

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
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 > 2σ(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. |

Dihydropyrimidinone derivatives exhibit a wide range of biological effects including antifungal, antiviral, anticancer, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antihypertensive effects (Kappe, 2000; Ghorab et al., 2000; Shivarama Holla et al., 2004). It also exhibit a biological activity of antitumour property (Kappe, 1993). Dihydropyrimidinones used as an anticancer drug capable of inhibiting Kinesin motor protein (Kappe et al., 2000). Many dihydropyrimidinones and their derivatives are pharmacologically important as calcium channel blockers, antihypertensive agents and α-1a-antagonists (Atwal et al., 1989; Kappe et al., 1997). Dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones can be used as an antioxidant agents (Stefani et al., 2006).
In the title molecule, (I) (Fig. 1), the heterocyclic ring adopts a flattened boat conformation, and the plane through the four coplanar atoms(C2, N3, C5 and C6) makes a dihedral angle of 89.65 (7)° with the benzene ring. The carbonyl, acetyl and methyl groups, except for the H atoms, are nearly coplanar with the attached heterocyclic ring. A network of hydrogen bonds (Table 1) help to establish the packing (Fig. 2, Table 1).
