Four new solvates of the anti-HIV compound etravirine [systematic name: 4-({6-amino-5-bromo-2-[(4-cyanophenyl)amino]pyrimidin-4-yl}oxy)-3,5-dimethylbenzonitrile, C20H15BrN6O] with dimethyl sulfoxide (C2H6OS, two distinct monosolvates), 1,4-dioxane (C4H8O2, the 0.75-solvate) and N,N-dimethylacetamide (C4H9NO, the monosolvate), which exhibit conversion to the same anhydrous etravirine phase upon desolvation, and a stable etravirinium oxalate salt {6-amino-5-bromo-4-(4-cyano-2,6-dimethylphenoxy)-2-[(4-cyanophenyl)amino]pyrimidin-1-ium hemioxalate, C20H16BrN6O+·0.5C2O4
2−} were obtained. The crystal structures were solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction, and the intermolecular interactions were explored by Hirshfeld surface analysis. Lattice energies were evaluated using the atom–atom force field Coulomb–London–Pauli (AA CLP) approximation, which distributes the total energy as four separate contributions: Coulombic, polarization, dispersion and repulsion. The formation of the solvates and the oxalate salt was further characterized by thermal analysis and IR spectroscopy.
