3-(2-Chloro-ethyl)-2-methyl-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one
Abstract:
In the title mol-ecule, C(11)H(11)ClN(2)O, the pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine ring system is planar (maximum deviation = 0.0148 Å) and the methyl C and carbonyl O atoms are nearly coplanar to it. The chloro-ethyl side chain is in a synclinal conformation, nearly orthogonal to the pyrimidine ring, with a dihedral angle between the chloro-ethyl side chain and the pyrimidine ring of 88.5 (1)°. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯N and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds along with π-π inter-actions between the pyrimidine and pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distance is 3.538 (2) Å] form a three-dimensional network. The crystal is a racemic twin with a 0.68 (12):0.32 (12) domain ratio. MOPAC AM1 and density functional theory (DFT) theoretical calculations at the B3-LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level support these observations.

For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
