(Received 30 July 2010; accepted 30 July 2010; online 4 August 2010)

The pyrimidine and benzene rings in the title compound, C10H8N2O2, form a dihedral angle of 71.03 (7)°, with the roughly orthogonal benzene ring being folded towards one of the pyrimidine N atoms. In the crystal, pairs of O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds connect mol­ecules related by twofold symmetry into dimeric aggregates. These associate into a supra­molecular chain propagating along the b axis by way of C—H⋯π contacts. The chains are cross-linked by π–π inter­actions that occur between pyrimidine rings [ring centroid–centroid distances = 3.5393 (9) and 3.5697 (9) Å].

Comment top

Interest in the title compound relates to screening for useful fluorescence properties as seen in related compounds (Kawai et al. 2001; Abdullah, 2005). The molecule of (I), Fig. 1, is bent with the dihedral angle formed between the pyrimidine and benzene rings being 71.03 (7) °. The plane through the pyrimidine ring cuts through the orthogonal plane through the benzene ring, which is folded to be disposed towards the N1 atom. The overall conformation resembles that reported recently for 2-(3-methoxyphenoxy)pyrimidine (Nasir et al., 2010). The hydroxy group is directed away from the pyrimidine ring, an orientation that facilitates the formation of a O–H···N hydrogen bond with a molecule related by 2-fold symmetry, Table 1. The dimeric aggregates are linked via C–H···π interactions occurring between a pyrimidine-H and the benzene ring. The result of these interactions is the formation of a supramolecular chain along the b axis, Fig. 2 and Table 1. The chains thus formed are consolidated into the crystal structure by π–π interactions occurring between the pyrimidine rings that stack along the c axis [ring centroid(N1,N2,C1–C4)···ring centroid(N1,N2,C1–C4)i,ii = 3.5393 (9) and 3.5697 (9) Å, respectively, with inclination angles = 16 and 0 °, respectively, for i: 1 - x, y, 3/2 - z and ii: 3/2 + x, 3/2 + y, 1 + z]; Fig. 3.

Experimental top

1,2-Dihydroxybenzene (12 g, 108 mmol) was mixed with sodium hydroxide (4.32 g, 108 mmol) in several drops of water. The water was then evaporated and the resulting paste heated with 2-chloropyrimidine (2 g, 18 mmol) at 423—433 K for 5 h. The product was dissolved in water and the solution extracted with chloroform. The chloroform phase was dried over sodium sulfate; the evaporation of the solvent gave well shaped colourless blocks of (I).

Refinement top

Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.93 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with Uiso(H) set to 1.2Uequiv(C). The O-bound H-atom was located in a difference Fourier map, and was refined with a distance restraint of O–H 0.84±0.01 Å, and with Uiso(H) set to 1.5Uequiv(O).

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
