Abstract

In the title compound, C15H12F3N3, the pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine system ring is essentially planar with a maximum deviation from the mean plane of 0.014 (1) Å. The 4-tolyl group makes a dihedral angle of 14.1 (1)° with the pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine ring system. The crystal packing is stabilized mainly by van der Waals forces.

Comment

Pyrazolopyrimidine derivatives are important biologically active compounds obtained to showed anti-inflammatory (PGHS-2 inhibitors) (Almanza et al., 2001) and antifungal activities (cAMP phosphodiasterase and xanthine oxidase inhibitors) (Novinson et al., 1977). In addition, this scaffold have been found to be integral parts of potent nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic agents (George, 2001). Zaleplon is one example of a pyrazolopyrimidine derivative in clinical use (George, 2001). In a continuation of our study about synthesis and reactivity of pyrazolopyrimidine (Martins et al., 2006) as well as trihalomethylated compounds (Martins et al., 2004) we reported, in this communication, the crystal structure of the title compound, 2-methyl-5-(4-tolyl)-7-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine.

The analysis showed that the pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine ring is essentially planar with maximum deviation from mean plane of 0.014 (1) Å. The 4-tolyl group makes a dihedral angle of 14.1 (1)° with respect to the pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine ring system. In addition, the dihedral angle between the five-membered ring and the fused six-membered ring is 0.84 (1)° in accordance with previous reports (Wen et al., 2004; Wen et al., 2005; Oliveira-Campos et al., 2006). The crystal packing is stabilized mainly by van der Waals forces.

Experimental

To a stirred solution of 1,1,1-trifluoro-4-methoxy-4-(4-tolyl)-but-3-en-2-one (0.244 g, 1.0 mmol) in acetic acid (5 ml) a solution containing the 5-methyl-3-amino-1H-pyrazole (0.097 g, 1.0 mmol) in acetic acid (5 ml) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred under reflux for 16 h. After this time, the resultant solution was extracted with chloroform (3 × 10 ml), washed with distilled water (3 × 10 ml) and dried over magnesium sulfate. Finally, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and a solid was obtained in good yield (79%). The product was purified by recrystallization from hexane, the slow evaporation of this solution at room temperature furnished the crystal used for the data collection.

Refinement

All H atoms were refined using a riding model, with C—H distances set to 0.93 or 0.96 Å. Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), with x = 1.5 for methyl groups and x = 1.2 otherwise.

Special details

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.
