2-[(E)-(6-Amino-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-5-yl)iminomethyl]pyridinium bromide

Abstract

The title compound, C12H14N5O2+·Br−, is the hydrobromide salt of a Schiff base in which protonation has taken place at the pyridine N atom. This organic cation is essentially planar (r.m.s. of all fitted non-H atoms = 0.0448 Å). In the crystal, N—H...Br hydrogen bonds as well as C—H...O and C–H...Br interactions connect the molecules, forming a three-dimensional network.
