Crystal structure ofN-[4-amino-5-cyano-6-(methylsulfanyl)pyridin-2-yl]acetamide hemihydrate
The title compound, C9H10N4OS·0.5H2O, crystallizes with two independent molecules (AandB) in the asymmetric unit, together with a water molecule of crystallization. The acetamide moiety, which has an extended conformation, is inclined to the pyridine ring by 7.95 (16)° in moleculeAand by 1.77 (16)° in moleculeB. In the crystal, theAandBmolecules are linked by two N—H...Ocarbonylhydrogen bonds, forming a dimer. The dimers are linkedviaN—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming ribbons that are linked by N—H...Owaterhydrogen bonds to form sheets parallel to (110). The sheets are linked by O—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming slabs, and between the slabs there are weak slipped parallel π–π interactions [inter-centroid distance = 3.734 (2) Å, interplanar distance = 3.3505 (11) Å and slippage = 1.648 Å], forming a three-dimensional structure.
