Crystal structure of cyprodinil

Abstract

In the title compound, C14H15N3 (systematic name: 4-cyclopropyl-6-methyl-N-phenylpyrimidin-2-amine), which is the anilinopyrimidine fungicide cyprodinil, the dihedral angles between the planes of the central pyrimidine ring and the terminal phenyl ring and the mean plane of the cyclopropane ring system are 14.52 (11) and 88.79 (10)°, respectively. In the crystal, weak π–π interactions [3.8551 (11) Å] connect the dimers into chains along the b-axis direction.
