“…In comparison, this dihedral angle in the structure of ethyl 6-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxo-1,2,3,4tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate, (II), is 87.7 (2) (Kettmann et al, 2008), in ethyl-6-(chloromethyl)-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate, (III), it is 87.08 (9) (Bharanidharan et al, 2014), and in the crystal structure of ethyl 6-methyl-2-oxo-4-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate, (IV), it is 75.25 (6) (Novina et al, 2015). The ethyl acetate group attached to the pyrimidine ring shows an extended conformation [torsion angle C12-C15-O2-C16 = À175.83 (15) ].…”
