Two independent mol­ecules comprise the asymmetric unit in the title compound, C11H11N3. These differ in terms of the relative orientations of the aromatic rings: the first is somewhat twisted, while the second is approximately planar [dihedral angles between the pyrimidine and phenyl rings = 39.00 (8) and 4.59 (11)°]. The mol­ecules also form distinct patterns in their hydrogen bonding. The first independent mol­ecule forms centrosymmetric dimers featuring an eight-membered {HNCN}2 synthon. The second independent mol­ecule forms an N—H⋯N hydrogen bond with the other pyrimidine N atom of the first mol­ecule. Thereby, tetra­meric aggregates are formed. These associate via C—H⋯N and C—H⋯π inter­actions, consolidating the crystal packing.

Comment top

The title compound, (I), was investigated as a continuation of structural studies of pyrimidine derivatives related to the title compound (Badaruddin et al., 2009; Fairuz et al., 2010). Interest in these compounds relates to the fluorescence properties of related compounds (Kawai et al. 2001; Abdullah, 2005).

Two independent molecules of comprise the asymmetric unit of (I), Figs 1 and 2. Whereas the pyrimidine and amine residues are super-imposable in the two molecules, there is a large difference in the relative orientations of the tolyl groups, Fig. 3. This is seen in the marked difference in the dihedral angles formed between the pyrimidine and benzene rings of 39.00 (8) ° for the first independent molecule and 4.59 (11) ° for the second. Hence, while the first molecule is significantly twisted about the N3–C5 bond [the C1–N3–C5–C6 torsion angle = 37.2 (3) °], the second molecule is essentially planar [r.m.s. deviation of the 14 non-hydrogen atoms = 0.046 Å; the equivalent C12–N6–C16–C17 torsion angle is 1.1 (3) °]. It is noted that each of the N2 and N4 atoms forms a significant intramolecular C–H···N contact and that the contact formed in the second independent molecule is significantly shorter, Table 1.

Over and above the conformational differences between the independent molecules, they form quite distinct patterns in their intermolecular contacts. Thus, centrosymmetrically related molecules of the first independent species associate via an eight-membered {···HNCN}2 synthon, Table 1. The pyrimdine atom not participating in this synthon accepts an N–H hydrogen bond from the second independent molecule. In this way, tetrameric supramolecular aggregates are formed, Fig. 4. Therefore, while each of the nitrogen atoms of the first independent molecule participates in intermolecular interactions, only the amine-nitrogen of the second molecule forms a significant intermolecular interaction. The tetrameric aggregates are consolidated into the three-dimensional structure by C–H···π interactions, Fig. 5 and Table 1.

Experimental top

2-Chloropyrimidine (3.1701 g, 30 mmol) was mixed with 3-methylaniline (3 ml, 30 mmol) along with several drops of ethanol. The mixture was heated at 423–433 K for 5 h. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate; the evaporation of the solvent gave the colourless crystals.

Refinement top

Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.93 to 0.96 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with Uiso(H) set to 1.2 to 1.5Uequiv(C). The N-bound H-atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and were were refined with a distance restraint of N–H = 0.86±0.01 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N).

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.
