Crystal structure of (S)-5,7-diphenyl-4,7-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine
The title compound, C16H13N5, was synthesized by coupling aminotetrazole with chalcone in the presence of an amine organocatalyst derived from chincona alkaloid. There are two molecules,AandB, in the asymmetric unit. In moleculeA, the dihedral angles between the partly hydrogenated pyrimidine ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.056 Å) and thesp2- andsp3-bonded phenyl groups are 33.32 (11) and 86.53 (11)°, respectively. The equivalent data for moleculeBare 0.049 Å, and 27.05 (10) and 85.27 (11)°, respectively. In the crystal,A+Bdimers linked by pairs of N—H...N hydrogen bonds generateR22(8) loops. The dimers are linked by aromatic π–π stacking interactions [shortest centroid–centroid separation = 3.5367 (15) Å], which results in a three-dimensional network.
