Structure Analysis of Methyl‐3,4‐dihydro‐3‐(p‐methylphenyl)‐4‐oxo‐2‐quinazolinyl thiopropionate

The crystal structure of methyl‐3, 4‐dihydro‐3‐(p‐methylphenyl)‐4‐oxo‐2‐quinazolinyl thiopropionate (C₁₉H₁₈N₂O₃S) has been determined by X‐ray diffraction methods. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P with unit cell parameters: a = 9.094(2), b = 9.428(3), c = 10.612(3) Å, α = 94.55(3), β = 95.44(2), γ = 106.75(3)° and Z = 2. The structure has been refined to an R‐value of 0.054 for 2533 observed reflections [F_o > 4σ(F_o)]. The quinazoline moiety and the methyl substituted phenyl ring is almost planar. The dihedral angle between these two moieties is 84.96(8)° . The crystal structure is stabilized by an intermolecular C‐H … O interaction.
