Comment

Pyrimidine diamines, important intermediate products (Koppel et al., 1958; Itoh et al., 2004; Che et al., 2008; Shi et al., 2011), exhibit a wide range of biological activities (Barillari et al., 2001). Here, the crystal structure of N4,N6- dimethyl-5-nitro-N4, N6-diphenylpyrimidine-4,6-diamine is determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction.

In the structure of the title compound (Fig. 1), the dihedral angles between pyrimidyl and two phenyl rings and between two phenyl rings are 66.09 (12), 71.39 (13) and 44.05 (14)°, respectively.

Experimental

4,6-Dichloro-5-nitro-pyrimidine (192 mg, 1 mmol), N-methylbenzenamine (0.33 mL, 3 mmol) and triethylamine (0.22 mL, 2 mmol) were dissolved in anhydrous THF (10 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred in reflux overnight. The product was concentrated in vacuo, diluted with water, and extracted with EtOAc. The organic phase was washed with 1mol/L HCl, brine, and dried over anhydrous MgSO4. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (elution with 15% EtOAc in petroleum ether) to give N4,N6-dimethyl-5-nitro-N4, N6-diphenylpyrimidine- 4,6-diamine (yellow solid, 256 mg, 76.4%, 166.4-168.6 °C). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 Hz), δ: 8.46 (s, 1H), 7.23-7.19(m, 4H), 7.13-7.11(m, 2H), 7.02-6.99(m, 4H), 3.50 (s, 6H); 13C NMR (CDCl3, 100 Hz), δ: 156.0, 155.7, 144.2, 129.2, 126.6, 125.1, 121.0, 42.0; ES-MS: 336.1 [(M + H+)].

Refinement

All H atoms were located from difference Fourier maps. H atoms attached to C atoms were treated as riding [C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C)].

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.
