The title compound, C13H12ClN5, was synthesized by the cyclization of 1-(4,6-di­methyl­pyrimidin-2-yl)-4-phenyl­thio­semicarbazide in the presence of Ni(NO3)2. The mol­ecular structure of the compound is essentially planar. In the crystal, mol­ecules form dimers via pairs of N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds between the H atom of the exocyclic amino group and the N atom at the 4-position of the triazole ring. The resulting dimers are packed into layers which are connected by π-stacking inter­actions between the aromatic systems of the pyrimidine and benzene nuclei, and between the triazole cores.

1. Chemical context

It is well known that thermal cyclization of 1-(pyrymidin-2-yl)thio­semicarbazides leads to the formation of mercapto derivatives of triazolo­pyrimidine (Babichev & Kovtunenko, 1977[Babichev, F. S. & Kovtunenko, V. A. (1977). Chem. Heterocycl. Compd. 13, 117-131.]; Kottke & Kuhmshtedt, 1978[Kottke, K. & Kuhmshtedt, K. (1978). Pharmazie, 33, 124-125.]). In contrast to this, it has been shown that analogous substrates can be converted into the corresponding 2-R-amino-5,7-dimeth­yl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines by cyclization in the presence of methyl iodide and sodium acetate in boiling ethanol solution. Such processes undergo alcylation of a sulfur atom with the formation of the S-methyl derivative, which then undergoes intra­molecular cyclization with elimination of a methane­thiol mol­ecule and the formation of the unstable inter­mediate A. The subsequent Dimroth rearrangement of inter­mediate A gives the final product B (Fig. 1[link]) (Vas'kevich et al., 2006[Vas'kevich, R. I., Savitskii, P. V., Zborovskii, Yu. L., Staninets, V. I., Rusanov, E. B. & Chernega, A. N. (2006). Russ. J. Org. Chem. 42, 1403-1408.]). In the present work we show that an analogous cyclization followed by Dimroth rearrangement can proceed in mild conditions in the presence of Ni2+ ions (Fig. 1[link]).

2. Structural commentary

The mol­ecular structure of the title compound is almost planar. The mol­ecule consists of two flat fragments: the [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine moiety, and the 4-chloro­phenyl group. The mean deviation from the N1/C2/C3/C4/N2/C6/N3/C7/N4 plane is 0.010 Å while that from the C8–C13 plane is 0.006 Å. The dihedral angle between these planes is 6.23 (5)°. The sum of the C7—N5—C8, C7—N5—H1 and C8—N5—H1 angles is 359.86°, indicating sp2 hybridization of atom N5.

[Scheme 1]

3. Supra­molecular features

In the crystal, mol­ecules form inversion dimers via pairs of N5—H1⋯N3i hydrogen bonds (Table 1[link], Fig. 2[link]). The resulting dimers are packed into layers parallel to the bc plane. These layers are connected by π-stacking inter­actions between the aromatic systems of the pyrimidine and benzene rings, and between triazole cores (Figs. 3[link] and 4[link]). The centroid–centroid distance between the benzene ring of the 4-chloro­phenyl group (C8–C13) and the pyrimidine ring (N1/C2/C3/C4/N2/C6) of symmetry-related mol­ecules is 3.513 (1) Å. These overlapping rings have a slip angle of 16.3°. The centroid–centroid distance between five-membered (N1/N4/C7/N3/C6) triazole rings is 3.824 (1) Å with a slip angle of 29.0°.

In general, the crystal structure of the title compound is very similar to that of 5,7-dimethyl-2-phenyl­amino-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (Vas'kevich et al., 2006[Vas'kevich, R. I., Savitskii, P. V., Zborovskii, Yu. L., Staninets, V. I., Rusanov, E. B. & Chernega, A. N. (2006). Russ. J. Org. Chem. 42, 1403-1408.]).

4. Synthesis and crystallization

A warm solution of Ni(NO3)2 (0.0364 g, 0.125 mmol in 15 ml of ethanol) was added dropwise under vigorous stirring to a warm solution of 1-(4,6-di­methyl­pyrimidin-2-yl)-4-phenyl­thio­semicarbazide (0.0767 g, 0.25 mmol in 20 ml of ethanol), prepared according to a known procedure (Vas'kevich et al., 2006[Vas'kevich, R. I., Savitskii, P. V., Zborovskii, Yu. L., Staninets, V. I., Rusanov, E. B. & Chernega, A. N. (2006). Russ. J. Org. Chem. 42, 1403-1408.]). An orange precipitate of the Ni2+ complex (M:L = 1:2) was formed. The resulting mixture was left for a few days. Detailed analysis of the obtained compound showed the presence of a significant amount of colourless plate-shaped crystals of the title compound, which were used for X-ray analysis.

5. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 2[link]. All H atoms bonded to C atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions according to hybridization and constrained to ride on their parent C atoms, with C—H bonds for the aromatic rings and methyl groups of 0.95 and 0.98 Å, respectively, with Uiso(Haromatic) = 1.2Ueq(C) and Uiso(Hmeth­yl) = 1.5Ueq(C). The methyl groups were allowed to rotate freely about the C—C bonds. The H atom bonded to the N atom was located in a difference map and refined without any restraints.

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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.
