1-(2-Methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)-3,3-bis(methylsulfanyl)prop-2-enone monohydrate
Abstract
The title compound, C13H14N2OS2·H2O, appears in the form of bimolecular aggregate in which molecular components are linked by O—H...N hydrogen bonding. The nine-membered imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine system is almost planar, with a mean deviation of 0.026 (1) Å. An intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond forms within the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine system. The crystal packing is consolidated by O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a supramolecular structure consisting of perpendicular infinite molecular chains running along the a and c axes.
