The room-temperature crystal structure of 5-but­yl-5-ethyl­barbituric acid (generally known as butobarbitone), C10H16N2O3, was reported in space group C2/c [Bideau (1971[Bideau, J.-P. (1971). C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris Ser. C, 272, 757-760.]). C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris Ser. C, 272, 757–760]. A redetermination at 120 K using synchrotron radiation shows the space group at this temperature to be P21/n and not C2/c. There are two crystallographically independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit, but no solvent. Reported issues concerning possible disorder of the mol­ecule are addressed; the but­yl substituent of one of the mol­ecules adopts an unusual conformation in being not fully extended. A subsequent re-collection at room temperature shows that the space group is indeed C2/c (A2/a with the axes selected in this report), and so the crystal structure undergoes a phase change upon cooling to 120 K.

Comment

Derivatives of barbituric acid, often called `barbiturates', are a well known class of sedative drugs. The parent barbituric acid has no pharmacological activity but its 5,5-disubstituted derivatives do, in particular those with large substituents, for example, ethyl, amyl, butyl or cyclo­hexyl groups. The mol­ecule must also possess hydrogen-bonding capability to be active, since it is this which facilitates binding of the drug to the acceptor site (Craven et al., 1969[Craven, B. M., Vizzini, E. A. & Rodrigues, M. M. (1969). Acta Cryst. B25, 1978-1993.]).

[Scheme 1]

Crystals of 5-but­yl-5-ethyl­barbituric acid, (I)[link], hereafter referred to as `butobarbitone', were obtained from a failed attempt to react ammonium carbonate with butobarbitone. The crystals were obtained as large plates but were very weakly diffracting, too weak even for a laboratory rotating-anode X-ray source. Data for this crystal were collected at Station 9.8 of the Synchrotron Radiation Source (SRS) at Daresbury Laboratory, Cheshire, England, via the EPSRC National X-ray Crystallography Service based in Southampton, England, where rotating-anode screening was carried out.

The structure of (I)[link] at 120 K is presented in Fig. 1[link]. At this temperature, the space group is P21/n; there are two crystallographically independent butobarbitone mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit, which form an infinite hydrogen-bonded ribbon (Fig. 2[link] and Table 2[link]). A packing diagram viewed along the a axis (Fig. 3[link]) shows how the large butyl substituent and the smaller ethyl substituent act together to separate the hydrogen-bonded ribbons. With the exception of the butyl group torsion angles, discussed below (Table 1[link]), mol­ecular dimensions are unexceptional.

The two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit have some similar and some different characteristics. Firstly, despite the size of the displacement ellipsoids, which would tend to suggest that the butyl groups are disordered, attempts to model this disorder have brought no improvement. With a disorder model it proved necessary to use geometrical restraints and the final R factors are not significantly better than for the ordered model. Secondly, the geometry of the butyl substituent of one mol­ecule is rather unusual; Fig. 4[link] shows two Newman projections (created with PLATON; Spek, 2003[Spek, A. L. (2003). J. Appl. Cryst. 36, 7-13.]) along the C9—C10 and C19—C20 bonds. The positions of atoms C18 and C21 are staggered antiperiplanar with respect to each other, a perfectly normal observation for an alkyl chain. However, atoms C8 and C11 are gauche, with a C8—C9—C10—C11 torsion angle of −72.5 (4)°, a rather less common observation for a butyl substituent on a planar ring. The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD; Version 5.26 plus one update; Allen, 2002[Allen, F. H. (2002). Acta Cryst. B58, 380-388.]), searched using MOGUL (Bruno et al., 2004[Bruno, I. J., Cole, J. C., Kessler, M., Luo, J., Motherwell, W. D. S., Purkis, L. H., Smith, B. R., Taylor, R., Cooper, R. I., Harris, S. E. & Orpen, A. G. (2004). J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci. 44, 2133-2144.]), contains only a relatively small number of entries that exhibit such geometry.

After the solution and refinement of the structure, a structural search of the CSD showed that the structure had already been published (CSD refcode ETBBAR; Bideau, 1971[Bideau, J.-P. (1971). C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris Ser. C, 272, 757-760.]). However, it is not found by a search based on the unit-cell parameters. The room-temperature structure is in space group C2/c, with Z′ = 1 and Z = 8, and the final R value is 0.094. The short structural discussion in the previous paper reports unusual geometry of the butyl substituent, which the author attributed to disorder he was unable to resolve. The final sentence of the paper states `The study of this structure will be repeated at low temperature with the view of specifying the position of C54 [the terminal but­yl C atom]'. No such repeated study was ever published, as far as we can tell.

In changing from room temperature to low temperature, the crystal structure has undergone a phase transition. At 120 K, there is nothing in the data to suggest that a centred unit cell is present. To verify the validity of the original report, we re-collected data at room temperature and found that the structure is indeed in space group C2/c (actually A2/a with the choice of axes made here, a and c being exchanged from those used in the room-temperature study), with Z′ = 1 and Z = 8. This observation, although unusual, is not entirely surprising; we recently determined that barbituric acid dihydrate also undergoes a phase transition at low temperatures (Nichol & Clegg, 2005[Nichol, G. S. & Clegg, W. (2005). Acta Cryst. B61. Submitted.]). Unlike barbituric acid dihydrate, here there is no significant change in the crystal packing between the room-temperature and 120 K structures. The two independent mol­ecules at 120 K become symmetry-equivalent at room temperature, leading to the C-centring of the unit cell (with the a and c axes exchanged from our setting), which otherwise has similar cell parameters. This transition must involve torsional changes in the n-butyl groups and could lead to some minor disorder, as reported by Bideau (1971[Bideau, J.-P. (1971). C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris Ser. C, 272, 757-760.]).

Experimental

Equimolar amounts of butobarbitone and ammonium carbonate were dissolved in distilled water and heated until boiling. Colourless crystals of (I)[link] grew over a period of two days when the solution was left to stand at room temperature in a sealed sample vial.

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.
