The title pyrimidine derivative, C18H21N3O6, was obtained by the reaction of methyl 2-[2-(benzyloxycarbonyl)aminopropan-2-yl]-5-hydroxy-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-4-carboxylate with dimethyl sulfate in dimethyl sulfoxide. The molecule has a V-shaped structure, the phenyl and the pyrimidine rings making a dihedral angle of 43.1 (1)°. The methyl group substituting the pyrimidine ring deviates slightly from the ring mean-plane [C—N—C—C torsion angle = 5.49 (15)°], and the methyl ester substituent has a conformation suitable for the formation of an intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond with the hydroxyl functionality. In the crystal, molecules are linked into chains along the b axis by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
In the title compound, C17H19N3O6, the dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 45.9 (1)°. The crystal structure is stabilized through intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are also present.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
