(5R*,11R*)-5-Methyl-1,2-dihydro-5,11-methano-5H,11H-1,3-thia-zolo[2,3-d][1,3,5]benzoxadiazo-cine.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(13)H(14)N(2)OS, crystallizes as a racemate in a non-chiral space group. It represents a conformationally restricted analogue of so-called Biginelli compounds known to exhibit multiple pharmacological activities and was selected for a single-crystal X-ray analysis in order to probe the chemical and spatial requirements of some kinds of activity. It was found that the state of hybridization of the formally aminic nitro-gen of the heterocycle is between sp(2) and sp(3) with the lone-pair electrons partially delocalized through conjugation with the sulfur atom rather than the double bond of the pyrimidine nucleus. As a result, the thia-zolo ring adopts a flat-envelope conformation and the puckering of the central pyrimidine ring is close to a half-chair. The critical phen
