Ov. Shishkin et al., MOLECULAR AND CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF METHYL-4,7-DIHYDRO-1,2,4-TRIAZOLO[1,5-A]PYRIMIDINE, Russian chemical bulletin, 42(11), 1993, pp. 1827-1829
The molecular and crystal structures of methyl-4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triaz
olo[1,5-a]pyrimidine have been studied by X-ray structural methods. Th
e crystal is monoclinic, a = 16.112(3), b = 13.489(3), c = 14.480(3) a
ngstrom, beta = 101.62(2)-degrees, Z = 8, space group C2/c, R = 0.071.
The presence of short intermolecular contacts indicates considerable
steric strain in the molecule. The dihydropyrimidine ring exists in an
unevenly planar boat conformation. Increasing the steric strain of th
e dihydrocycle leads to a twisted conformation.
