5-[3-(2,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-enylidene]-1,3-diethyl-2-thioxohexahydropyrimidine-4,6-dione
Abstract
1,3-Diethyl-2-thiobarbituric acid reacts with 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde to form the title Knoevenagel product, C19H22N2O4S. In the compound, the two six-membered rings at either end of the three-membered –CHCHCH– chain are nearly coplanar with this fragment (r.m.s. deviation of the two six-membered rings and the three chain atoms = 0.08 Å).
