CuI (0.19 g,1 mmol), 1,10-phenanthroline (0.6 g,3 mmol) and DMF (5 ml) were added to a three-necked flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer and a reflux condenser. The reaction mixture turned brown and was kept stirred for 5 min. Then, t-BuOK (1.12 g,10 mmol), imidazole (1.36 g, 20 mmol), 2-iodo-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine (0.46 g, 2 mmol) and a catalytic amount of 18-crown-6 were added in sequentially. After complete addition, the mixture was heated under nitrogen for about 2 h, then cooled to room temperature. The residue was extracted with 200 ml of dichloromethane, washed four times with distilled water, and dried with anhydrous MgSO4. Then it was filtered and concentrated and purified by flash column-
on silica. Elution with petroleum/ethyl acetate (2:1) gave colorless crystals. Yield: 0.2 g (60%).All hydrogen atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2 - 1.5Ueq(C).

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. |

In recent years,pyrimidine-based materials had been widely investigated for their high electron affinity in the area of nonlinear optical materials (Liu et al., 2007); the crystal structures of a small number of pyrimidine derivatives have been widely reported (Wu et al., 2008; Cetina et al., 2005). The title molecule is a contribution to this topic. In (I), (Fig.1), the dihedral angles between imidazole and pyrimidine rings of the two molecules are only 4.8 (1) and 2.1 (1) °, which indicate that the molecules are almost co-planar. In the crystal structure, neighboring molecules are connected through weak intermolecular C—H···N interactions (Fig. 2).
