2-Amino-1-methyl-1H-imidazol-4(5H)-one dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C(4)H(7)N(3)O·C(2)H(6)OS, creatinine [2-amino-1-methyl-1H-imidazol-4(5H)one] exists in the amine form. The ring is planar (r.m.s. deviation for all non-H atoms = 0.017 Å). In the crystal, two creatinine mol-ecules form centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded dimers linked by pairs of N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In addition, creatinine is linked to a dimethyl sulfoxide mol-ecule by an N-H⋯O inter-action. The packing shows layers parallel to (120).
