4,6-Dimethoxy-2-(methylsulfonyl)pyrimidine
Abstract
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C7H10N2O4S, comprises of two independent molecules (A and B) which differ in the orientation of the methylsulfonyl group [C—S—C—N = 157.98 (13)° in molecule A and 6.09 (18)° in molecule B]. In the crystal structure, molecules of type A are linked into chains along the a axis by intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The B molecules are linked to these chains by C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
