Abstract:
4',4'-Dimethyl-2-methylsulfanyl-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-spiro-1'-cyclohexane-2',4,6'-trione, C(15)H(19)N(3)O(3)S, (I), has a markedly polarized molecular-electronic structure, and the molecules are linked into a three-dimensional framework by a combination of N-H.O, C-H.O and C-H.pi hydrogen bonds. 8-Hydroxymethyl-4',4'-dimethyl-2-methylsulfanyl-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-spiro-1'-cyclohexane-2',4,6'-trione, C(16)H(21)N(3)O(4)S, (II), where the hydroxymethyl substituent is disordered over two sets of sites, has a much less polarized structure than (I); the molecules are linked by a combination of O-H.O and N-H.O hydrogen bonds into chains containing alternating R(2)(2)(8) and R(2)(2)(16) rings, and these chains are linked into sheets by a combination of a pi-pi stacking interaction and a C-H.O hydrogen bond. 8-Ethoxymethyl-2-methoxy-4',4'-dimethyl-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-spiro-1'-cyclohexane-2',4,6'-trione, C(18)H(25)N(3)O(5), (III), has an unpolarized electronic structure, and a combination of N-H.O, C-H.O and C-H.pi hydrogen bonds links the molecules into sheets.

The chair form is the most stable and derives its name from its resemblance to the “easy chair.” In the chair conformation, two carbon atoms are arranged out-of-plane — one above and one below, minimizing the torsional strain. In the chair form, the bond angle is very close to the ideal tetrahedral value,...
