Abstract

In the title compound, C4H3BrClN3, the pyrimidine ring is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation from the plane = 0.087 Å). In the crystal, pairs of N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds connect the mol­ecules into inversion dimers; these are connected by further N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional framework parallel to the bc plane.

Comment

Some derivatives of pyrimidine are important chemical materials (Yu et al., 2007). Here in this article, the preparation and crystal structure of the title compound is presented. Bond lengths and angles in the title compound (Fig. 1) are comparable with the similar crystal structures (van Albada et al., 2012; Yang et al., 2012). The pyrimidine ring is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation from the plane 0.087 Å). The atoms Br,Cl and N7 are coplanar with the pyrimidine ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked into dimers by N7—H72···N3 hydrogen bonds and these dimers are further connected by N7—H71···N1 hydrogen bonds, forming two dimensional supramolecular network in the bc plane (Fig.2, (Table 2).

Experimental

To a solution of stannous chloride dihydrate (2.8 ml, 0.012 mole) in hydrochloric acid (30 ml) cooled to 273K, 5-bromo-2-chloro-4-nitropyrimidine (2 g, 0.0083 mole) was added in portions while the suspension was vigorously stirred for 6 hrs. The mixture was then poured onto crushed ice, made alkaline with solid sodium hydroxide, and extracted three times with ethyl acetate (100 ml). The combined organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness. The compound was purified by successive recrystallization from acetonitrile (yield 90%, m. p. 460–461 K).

Refinement

The N-bound H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and freely refined. All other H atoms were positioned geometrically and were treated as riding on their parent C atoms, with C—H distances of 0.93 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Special details

Experimental. CrysAlis PRO, Oxford Diffraction Ltd., Version 1.171.34.40 (release 27–08-2010 CrysAlis171. NET) (compiled Aug 27 2010,11:50:40) Empirical absorption correction using spherical harmonics, implemented in SCALE3 ABSPACK scaling algorithm.
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.
