Abstract
The molecular structure and crystal packing of 5,5-diphenyl-3-(2-propyn-1-yl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione were studied using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and Hirshfeld surface analysis..
The new phenytoin analogue 5,5-diphenyl-3-(2-propyn-1-yl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione, C18H14N2O2 (3), was obtained through an alkylation reaction with propargyl bromide via the phase-transfer catalysis method, and its structure was determined via single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The asymmetric unit of 3 consists of two independent molecules differing mainly in the orientation of the propynyl group. Each molecule forms an inversion dimer through pairs of N2—H2⋯O2 hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure is further consolidated by C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π interactions. The contributions of the different interactions towards the crystal packing were further analysed using Hirshfeld surface and fingerprint plots, showing that the largest contribution comes from the H⋯H contacts (45%).
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications is the IUCr''s open-access structural communications journal. It provides a fast, simple and easily accessible publication mechanism for crystal structure determinations of inorganic, metal-organic and organic compounds. The electronic submission, validation, refereeing and publication facilities of the journal ensure rapid and high-quality publication of fully validated structures. The primary article category is Research Communications; these are peer-reviewed articles describing one or more structure determinations with appropriate discussion of the science.
