The title compound, C20H19N3O, was obtained by condensation of 2,3-dihydro-1H,9H-pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-9-one (alkaloid deoxyvasicinone, isolated from Peganum Harmala) with 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde in the presence of sodium methoxide. The 2,3-dihydro-1H,9H-pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-9-one part of the molecule is roughly planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0178 Å) and is essentially coplanar with the benzilidene ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0080 Å), forming a dihedral angle of 5.0 (1)°. The is stabilized by two aromatic π–π stacking interactions observed between the benzene rings of neighboring molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.7555 (19) Å.

0.115 g sodium (5 mmole) was dissolved in 5 ml absolute methanol, and 0.186 g (1 mmole) of 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-9-one and 0.151 g (1 mmole) 4-dimethylamino-benzaldehyde were added (Figure 1). Reaction mixture was left at 278 (1) K for 3 weeks. The dropped out single crystals, suitable for X-ray analysis were filtered, flushed at first with alcohol, then water. 0.05 g (16%) of the title compound was obtained in the reaction, m.p. 514-516 K.
The 10% decay correction was applied by using the programm X-RED. The H atoms bonded to C atoms were placed geometrically (with C–H distances of 0.98 Å for CH; 0.97 Å for CH2; 0.96 Å for CH3; and 0.93 Å for Car) and included in the
in a riding motion approximation with Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq(C) [Uiso(H)=1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms].Data collection: STADI4 (Stoe & Cie, 1997); cell

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. |

The derivatives of tricyclic quinazoline alkaloids possess different pharmacological activities (Chatterjee & Ganguly, 1968; Al-Shamma et al., 1981; Johne, 1981; Telezhenetskaya & Yunusov, 1977; Yunusov et al., 1978) and was found simples and convenient methods of a synthesis of these compounds (Shakhidoyatov et al., 1977; Shakhidoyatov & Kaysarov, 1998; Jahng et al., 2008).
Condensation of 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-9-one (alkaloid Deoxyvasicinone, isolated from Peganum Harmala) (Chatterjee & Ganguly, 1968) with 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde at 278 (1) K in presence of sodium methoxide (Elmuradov et al., 2009) leads to the formation of (E)-3-(4-dimethylamino)benzylidene-2,3-dihydro- 1H-pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-9-one (Figure 1).
The quinazoline part of molecule (C1/C2/C3/C3a/N4/C4a/C5/C6/C7/C8/C8a/C9/N10) is flat, r.m.s. deviation = 0.0178 Å, and benzilidene ring (C1'/C2'/C3'/C4'/C5'/C6'/C7') is also flat, r.m.s. deviation = 0.0080 Å, the angle between fragment planes is 5.0 (1)° (Figure 2). Torsion angle in fragment C3a–C3–C7'–C6' is 175.0 (5)° (Barnes et al., 1985; Wu et al., 1997), indicating the conjugation of π-electronic systems of pyrrolo(2,1-b)quinazolone and benzilidene rings. The sum of valent angles of all nitrogen atoms are close to 360° (Figure 3) which specifies sp2 hybridizations of nitrogen atoms. It specifies, that the lone electronic pair of nitrogen atoms participate in a conjugation with π electrons of aromatic ring. The crystal structure is stabilized by π-π interactions between the benzene rings of neighbor standing molecules with the distance Cg3···Cg4i = 3.7555 (19) Å [symmetry code: (i) -x, 1 - y, 1 - z; Cg3 and Cg4 are centroid of the C1'-C6' and C4a/C5-C8/C8a two benzene rings].
