Dibenzyl diethylmalonate and dibenzyl malonic acid were synthesized according to the literature procedure (Maslak et al., 1999; Johnstone et al., 1980). To a solution of dibenzyl malonic acid (2.85 g, 10 mmol, 1 equiv.) in dry dichloromethane (10 ml) at 273 K, oxalyl chloride (3.5 ml, 40 mmol, 4 equiv.) was added along with a catalytic amount of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). After stirring the reaction mixture at room temperature for 2 h, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The resulting diacid chloride was dissolved in dry DMF (5 ml) and added to a solution containing 5-aminotetrazole (1.27 g, 10 mmol, 1 equiv.) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (5.2 ml, 30 mmol, 3 equiv.) in dry DMF (5 ml) maintained at 253 K. The reaction mixture was stirred for 4 h at room temperature and poured into water. The usual work-up and purification of the crude product by column chromatography afforded a white solid (1.95 g, 81.5%). Colorless single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of a solution in a dichloromethane-light petroleum ether mixture at room temperature.
Heterocycle-based self-assembling systems capable of forming two-, three- and four-centered hydrogen bonds are gaining interest in designing functional solids due to their high dimerization constant (Zimmerman et al., 2002; Meijer et al., 2005; Baruah et al., 2005). The tetrazole-based title compound (I) has been synthesized and we report here its crystal structure.
The title molecule adopts a 'bat-like' conformation (Fig. 1). The central tetrazole-pyrimidine-dione group is approximately planar. Molecules of (I) form centrosymmetric dimers (Fig. 2) via intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) in which tetrazole-pyrimidine-dione groups are coplanar and the benzyl groups are approximately perpendicular to this plane.
The molecular packing viewed down the a axis (Fig. 3) shows the association of the centrosymmetric dimers via C—H···N contacts (Table 1). The C9—H9···N4iii and C15—H15···N2i interactions link the centrosymmetric dimers along the b axis, whereas along the c axis these dimers are associated via the C5—H5B···N4iv contact.

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. |

Heterocycle-based self-assembling systems capable of forming two-, three- and four-centered hydrogen bonds are gaining interest in designing functional solids due to their high dimerization constant (Zimmerman et al., 2002; Meijer et al., 2005; Baruah et al., 2005). The tetrazole-based title compound (I) has been synthesized and we report here its crystal structure.
The title molecule adopts a 'bat-like' conformation (Fig. 1). The central tetrazole-pyrimidine-dione group is approximately planar. Molecules of (I) form centrosymmetric dimers (Fig. 2) via intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) in which tetrazole-pyrimidine-dione groups are coplanar and the benzyl groups are approximately perpendicular to this plane.
The molecular packing viewed down the a axis (Fig. 3) shows the association of the centrosymmetric dimers via C—H···N contacts (Table 1). The C9—H9···N4iii and C15—H15···N2i interactions link the centrosymmetric dimers along the b axis, whereas along the c axis these dimers are associated via the C5—H5B···N4iv contact.
