3,5-Diamino-6-(2-bromophenyl)-1,2,4-triazine Dimethanol Solvate: an Analogue of Lamotrigine

The structure of the title compound, C₉H₈BrN₅.2CH₃OH, exhibits marked distortion in its conformation about the common axis of the phenyl and triazine rings, which may arise from steric hindrance between the Br atom and the π electrons of the triazine ring. An extensive network of hydrogen bonds maintains the crystal structure which has one analogue molecule and two methanol solvent molecules per asymmetric unit.
