Comment top

Pyrimidines have been attracted special attention because of unique biological properties, such as fungicides, vermicides, inseticides and medicines (Rabie et al., 2007). Among them, aminopyrimidines are as interesting matters for chemists and pharmacist. They are a part of nucleic bases, cystosine, adenine and guanine which are responsible for molecular recognition and replication of DNA, through the formation and breakage of N—H···N hydrogen bonds (Rospenk & Koll, 2007). 2-Aminopyrimidine (2-apym), with amino group as two H-bond donor atoms and two N atoms as two H-bond acceptors atoms is particularly attractive as a very simple self-complementary prototype for chain formation with other organic molecules. Until now, a lot of co-crystals and proton transfer compounds were synthesized using 2-apym and a variety of carboxylic acid derivatives (Childs et al., 2007). In this report, we choose oxalic acid (OxH2) in according to their difference in pKa.

In the title compound, the oxalic acid is mono-deprotonated while 2-apym is protonated (Fig. 1). The cation is hydrogen bonded to the anion with a cyclic R22(8) pattern (Table 1). The anionic and cationic moieties link with the water molecule into layers by hydrogen bondings, resulting in beautiful picture as Flag-like strucrure. The O1W–H1WA···O3iii hydrogen bond [symmetry code: (iii) 1 - x, 1 - y, -z] between water and carboxyl group produces the three dimensional supra-molecular structure.

Experimental top

The title compound was synthesized via the reaction of OxH2 (0.047 g, 0.375 mmol) with 2-apym (0.050 g, 0.5 mmol) in a water solution (5 ml). The solution was stirred for 3 h in 323 K. Colorless crystals were obtained after a week.

Refinement top

Nitrogen- and oxygen-bound H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically. Carbon-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions and were refined in riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Special details top

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.
