Abstract

In the title compound, C8H10Cl2N4O, the dichloro-substituted triazine ring and the quasi-plane of the five-membered dimethyl-substituted oxazolidine unit, in which the O atom lies 0.228 (1) Å out of the least-squares plane, are close to being coplanar [dihedral angle = 4.99 (10)°]. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by inter­molecular C—H⋯Cl inter­actions, forming chains extend along the a axis. Also present are weak π–π inter­actions between triazine rings [minimum ring centroid separation = 3.7427 (11) Å].

Comment

2,4,6-Trichloro-1,3,5-triazine, because of the excellent and different reactivity of each chlorine atom, can react with organic amines or compounds containing active hydrogen to form compounds that have various substituent groups (Li et al., 2010); Xue et al., 2011; Zhao et al., 2010). The Aldol reaction is also particularly useful in organic synthesis for the facile formation of C—C bonds. A similar mechanism to that of the Aldol reaction is involved in the reaction of acetone with N-yl-2-iminoethanol (Yang et al., 2010; Rankin et al., 2002). The title compound C8H10Cl2N4O was the product from a combination of such reactions and the structure is reported here.

In this compound (Fig. 1), the dichloro-substituted triazine ring and the quasi-plane of the five-membered dimethyl-substituted oxazolidine moiety, in which the O-atom lies 0.228 (1) Å out of the l.s. plane, are close to coplanar [dihedral angle, 4.99 (10)°]. An intramolecular methyl C—H···Ntriazine interaction is present. The crystal packing is stabilized by a single intermolecular C2—H···Cl2i interaction (Table 1), giving chains which extend along a (Fig. 2). Also present are weak π–π interactions between triazine rings [minimum ring centroid separation, 3.7427 (11) Å].

Experimental

The title compound was prepared in a two-step synthesis: 1:1 Stoichiometric quantities of 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine and ethanolamine were first reacted in an ice bath (Xue et al., 2011). The intermediate product from the first step was then reacted with acetone in the presence of base as a catalyst in an Aldol reaction (Yang et al., 2010; Rankin et al., 2002). Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by evaporation of a solution of the title compound in toluene at room temperature.

Refinement

All H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding, with C—H bond lengths constrained to 0.98 Å (methyl) and 0.99 Å (methylene), and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq (methylene C) and 1.5Ueq(methyl 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.
