In the title compound, C12H13N5O2, a Schiff-base-derived chelate ligand, the non-aromatic heterocycle and its substituents essentially occupy one common plane (r.m.s. of fitted non-H atoms = 0.0503 Å). The N=C bond is E-configured. Intracyclic angles in the pyridine moiety cover the range 117.6 (2)–124.1 (2)°. Intra- and intermolecular N—H⋯N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed in the as are intra- and intermolecular C—H⋯O contacts which, in total, connect the molecules into a three-dimensional network. The shortest ring-centroid-to-ring-centroid distance of 3.5831 (14) Å is between the two different types of six-membered rings.

Equimolar amounts of picolinaldehyde (1.00 g, 9.36 mmol) and 5,6-diamino-1,3-dimethylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (1.59 g) in anhydrous methanol (50 cm3) were refluxed for 3 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature. An orange precipitate was isolated, which was recrystallized from anhydrous acetonitrile to give orange crystals. The crystals were filtered and dried under vacuum.
Carbon-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2Ueq(C). The H atoms of the methyl groups were allowed to rotate with a fixed angle around the C—C bond to best fit the experimental electron density (HFIX 137 in the SHELX program suite (Sheldrick, 2008)), with U(H) set to 1.5Ueq(C). Both nitrogen-bound H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined freely.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2010); cell

Refinement. Due to the absence of a strong anomalous scatterer, the Flack parameter is meaningless. Thus, Friedel opposites (1312 pairs) have been merged and the item was removed from the CIF. |

Chelate ligands have found widespread use in coordination chemistry due to the enhanced thermodynamic stability of resultant coordination compounds in relation to coordination compounds exclusively applying comparable monodentate ligands (Gade 1998). Combining different sets of donor atoms in one chelate ligand molecule, a probe for testing and accomodating metal centers of different Lewis acidities is at hand. To enable comparative studies with envisioned coordination compounds, we determined the crystal structure of the title compound. Two crystal structures of 6-amino-1,3-dimethyl-5-[(E-2- (methylsulfanyl)benzylideneamino]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione are apparent in the literature (Booysen et al., 2011a; Booysen et al., 2011b).
The molecule is a Schiff-base composed of a pyridyl moiety and a 6-amino-1,3- dimethylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione moiety. The C=N double-bond is (E)-configured. A conformation analysis of the non-aromatic six-membered ring (Cremer & Pople, 1975) fails due to the low puckering amplitude (τ = 2.9 °; r.m.s. of fitted non-hydrogen atoms – including the exocyclic substituents – = 0.0503 Å). Intracyclic angles in the pyridyl moiety cover a range from 117.6 (2)–124.1 (2) ° with the smallest angle found on the nitrogen atom and the largest angle found on the unsubstituted carbon atom in ortho position to the nitrogen atom. The least-squares planes defined by the respective atoms of the six-membered heterocycles intersect at an angle of 8.11 (12) °. The amino group is almost planar. The plane defined by its atoms and the least-squares plane defined by the atoms of its six-membered carrier ring enclose an angle of 9.56(2.54) ° (Fig. 1).
In the crystal structure, hydrogen bonds of N–H···N type as well as N–H···O type are observed. These are intra- as well as intermolecular and, in the case of N–H···N hydrogen bonds, involve only the nitrogen atom of the aromatic system and the Schiff base's double bonded nitrogen atom as acceptor. The intramolecular hydrogen bond shows bifurcation involving an oxygen atom. Apart from these classical hydrogen bonds, intra- as well as intermolecular C–H···O contacts can be observed whose range falls by more than 0.5 Å (in the former case) and by almost 0.2 Å (in the latter case) below the sum of van-der-Waals radii of the atoms participating. While the intramolecular C–H···O contact is apparent between the vinylic hydrogen atom and the neighbouring oxygen atom, the intermolecular C–H···O contacts are supported by the C–H group in para position to the Schiff-base substituent on the aromatic system and the keto group's oxygen atom that is not involved in the intramolecular C–H···O contacts. In terms of graph-set analysis (Etter et al., 1990; Bernstein et al., 1995), the descriptor for the classical hydrogen bonds is S(5)C11(6)C11(8) on the unitary level while a description of the C–H···O contacts necessitates a S(6)C11(12) descriptor on the same level. In total, the molecules are connected to a three-dimensional network. The shortest intercentroid distance between two centers of gravity was measured at 3.5831 (14) Å while the shortest intercentroid distance between two aromatic systems was found at 5.2956 (14) Å. (Fig. 2).
