Abstract
AbstractThe compounds, 7-methyl-3,5-diphenyl-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (1), 3-amino-2-cyano-7-methyl-5-phenyl-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid methyl ester (2), 2-dimethylaminomethylene-7-methyl-3-oxo-5-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (3), 2-(3-cyano-benzylidene)-5-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-7-methyl-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid methyl ester; with N,N-dimethyl-formamide (4) and 3-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-5-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-phenyl)-7-methyl-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid methyl ester (5) have been synthesized and their structures evaluated crystallographically. Compound 1 crystallizes in the space group Pı̄ with Z=8, with four molecules in the asymmetric unit. Compound 2 also crystallizes in the space group Pı̄ with Z=4 wherein asymmetric unit accommodates two molecules. Compound 3 belongs to P21/c with Z=4, compound 4 crystallizes in Pbc2 1 with Z=4 and compound 5 belongs to Pı̄ with Z=2. In all the above compounds, the aryl ring positioned at C5 of thiazolopyrimidine ring is almost perpendicular. In the case of compounds with substituted phenyl ring, aryl group-up conformation predominates. However, for compounds with unsubstituted phenyl ring, aryl group-down conformation is adopted. By varying the substituents at positions C2, C3, C6 and on the aryl at C5 in the main molecular scaffold of (1-5), we have observed significant differences in the intermolecular interaction patterns. The packing features of the compounds are controlled by C-H…O, C-H…N, N-H…N O-H…N, C-H…π and π…π weak interactions. Graphical AbstractConformational features of some thiazolopyrimidines are described. In addition, by varying the substituents at positions C2, C3, C6 and on the aryl at C5 in the main molecular scaffold of (1-5), resulted in significant differences in the intermolecular interaction patterns. The packing features of the compounds are controlled by C-H…O, C-H…N, N-H…N O-H…N, C-H…π and π…π weak interactions.
