Abstract:
The title compound, C30H39N3·0.5C7H8, is a symmetrically N,N'-disubstituted aryl-amidine containing a 4-pyridyl substituent on the carbon atom of the N-C-N linkage and bulky 2,6-diiso-propyl-phenyl groups on the nitro-gen atoms. It crystallizes in the Z-anti configuration and its amidine C-N bonds present amine [1.368 (1) Å] and imine [1.286 (1) Å] features. Intra-molecular hydrogen bonds are present in the structure together with inter-molecular N-H⋯N and C-H⋯N inter-actions linking the mol-ecules in chains along the a- and c-axis directions.

As shown below, the mechanism involves a nucleophilic attack by water at the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. This is followed by the reformation of the carbon–oxygen π bond along with the departure of a halide ion. A final proton transfer step yields carboxylic...
