In the title compound, C18H13N3O2, the benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 78.49 (9)°. The dihedral angles between the benzene rings and the pyrimidine ring are 76.53 (10) and 27.73 (11)°. The two cis-fused six-membered heterocyclic rings adopt half-chair confirmations. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains parallel to the b axis.

A mixture of salicylaldehyde (2 mol) and 2-aminopyrimidine (1 mol) in ethanol (50 ml) along with 3 drops of conc. H2SO4 was refluxed for 5 h at 343 K. The mixture was kept at room temperature for ten days to obtain light yellow crystals. The crystalline product was collected, washed with cooled ethanol and dried to afford the title compound in 80% yield. Recrystalization by slow evaporation of an ethanol solution of the title compound afforded light yellow crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. All chemicals were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich.
The aryl and methine H-atoms were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.93 and 0.98 Å, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(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 organic chemistry, the reactions invloving the carbon-nitrogen bond formation are very important for elucidating the mechanism of racemisation and transamination reactions in biological systems (Lau et al., 1999). The title compound was synthesized as a part of our on going research on Schiff base ligands (Khan et al., 2009; Aslam et al., 2011; Zeb & Yousuf, 2011).
The title compound (Fig. 1) is composed of five fused rings including two benzene (C1–C6 and C8–C13), one pyrimidine (N2/N3/C15–18) and two six membered heterocyclic rings (O1/N1/C7/C8/C13/C14 and O2/N1/C1/C6/C7/C14). The benzene (C8–C13) and pyrimidine (N2/N3/C15–C18) rings are twisted by 27.72 (10)° with respect to each other and form dihedral angles of 76.55 (10) and 78.48 (9)°, respectively, with the benzene ring (C1–C6). The cis fused six membered heterocyclic rings (O1/N1/C7/C8/C13/C14) and (O2/N1/C1/C6/C7/C14) adopt half-chair conformations; the atoms N1 and C7 lie -0.483 (3) and 0.311 (3) Å, respectively, from the plane defined by atoms (O1/C8/C13/C14) and the atoms N1 and C14 lie -0.456 (3) and 0.300 (3) Å, respectively, from the plane defined by atoms (O2/C1/C6/C7). In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked to form chains via C5—H5A···O2 intermolecular hydrogen bonds (Table 1) and lie parallel to the b-axix (Fig. 2). The bond lengths and angles in the title molecule are in accord with the corresponding bond lengths and angles reported in closely related structures (Aslam et al., 2011; Zeb & Yousuf, 2011).
