The title compound, C15H16N2O2·H2O, was synthesized via the alkylation of 3-hydroxymethylidene-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-9-one with n-propyl iodide in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The organic molecule and the water molecule both lie on a crystallographic mirror plane. In the intermolecular O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the components into extended chains along [100].

Sodium hydroxide (0.08 g, 2 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (10 ml), and 3-hydroxymethylidene-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-9-one (0.214 g, 1 mmol) and propyl iodide (0.34 g, 0.18 ml, d=1.747 g/ml, 2 mmol) were added. The mixture was heated to reflux on a water bath for 7 hours. The solvent was distilled off and the residue was re-crystallized from hexane. The title compound was obtained in 70 % yield (0.18 g). Colorless crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained from hexane by slow evaporation.
Carbon-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding on their C atoms, with C—H distances of 0.93 Å (aromatic) and 0.97 Å (CH2) and 0.96 Å (CH3) and were refined with Uiso(H) =1.2Ueq(C)]. The H atoms of the water molecule involved in the intramolecular hydrogen bonds were located by difference Fourier synthesis and refined freely [O—H = 0.84 (7) and 0.90 (7) Å].

are a large group of (Späth & Platzer, 1935; Shakhidoyatov et al., 1976; Oripov et al., 1979; Elmuradov & Shakhidoyatov, 2006; Jahng et al., 2008). These compounds and their derivatives possess different pharmacological activities (Amin & Mehta1959; Chatterjee & Ganguly, 1968; Yakhontov et al., 1977; Yunusov et al., 1978; Johne, 1981; Shakhidoyatov, 1988).Alkylation of 3- hydroxymethylidene-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-9-one with C1—C3 alkyl halides leads to the formation of new C-alkyl (Elmuradov & Shakhidoyatov, 2004) or O-alkyl derivatives (Elmuradov et al., 2006). Using the typical synthesis for O-alkyl derivatives the reaction of 3- hydroxymethylidene-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-9-one with n-propyl iodide was carried out by boiling of the initial reagents (1:2 ratio) over 7 hours in ethanol in the presence of sodium hydroxide (Elmuradov et al., 2006) (Figure 1). The compound (3-hydroxymethylidene-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin- 9-one) is obtained by formylation of 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-9-one (alkaloid Deoxyvasicinone, isolated from Peganum Harmala) (Chatterjee & Ganguly, 1968) with Vilsmeier-Haack reagent.
The
contains half molecule of 3-propoxymethylidene-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-9- one and a half water molecule (Figure 2). Both molecules of the asymetric unit lay on the crystallographic mirror plane. The water molecule links the N and Oi atoms of title compound molecule by O—H···N and O—H···Oi hydrogen bonds, which form a H-bond chain along [100] (Figure 3). The bond distances (Allen et al., 1987) and angles in molecule are in normal ranges.For the synthesis of the title compound and its derivatives, see: Späth & Platzer, (1935); Shakhidoyatov et al.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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. |

Tricyclic quinazoline alkaloids are a large group of heterocyclic compounds (Späth & Platzer, 1935; Shakhidoyatov et al., 1976; Oripov et al., 1979; Elmuradov & Shakhidoyatov, 2006; Jahng et al., 2008). These compounds and their derivatives possess different pharmacological activities (Amin & Mehta1959; Chatterjee & Ganguly, 1968; Yakhontov et al., 1977; Yunusov et al., 1978; Johne, 1981; Shakhidoyatov, 1988).
Alkylation of 3- hydroxymethylidene-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-9-one with C1—C3 alkyl halides leads to the formation of new C-alkyl (Elmuradov & Shakhidoyatov, 2004) or O-alkyl derivatives (Elmuradov et al., 2006). Using the typical synthesis for O-alkyl derivatives the reaction of 3- hydroxymethylidene-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-9-one with n-propyl iodide was carried out by boiling of the initial reagents (1:2 ratio) over 7 hours in ethanol in the presence of sodium hydroxide (Elmuradov et al., 2006) (Figure 1). The compound (3-hydroxymethylidene-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin- 9-one) is obtained by formylation of 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-9-one (alkaloid Deoxyvasicinone, isolated from Peganum Harmala) (Chatterjee & Ganguly, 1968) with Vilsmeier-Haack reagent.
The asymmetric unit contains half molecule of 3-propoxymethylidene-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-9- one and a half water molecule (Figure 2). Both molecules of the asymetric unit lay on the crystallographic mirror plane. The water molecule links the N and Oi atoms of title compound molecule by O—H···N and O—H···Oi hydrogen bonds, which form a H-bond chain along [100] (Figure 3). The bond distances (Allen et al., 1987) and angles in molecule are in normal ranges.
