Abstract

The new compounds (Z)-ethyl 2-cyano-2-(3H- and 2-methyl-3H-quinazoline-4-ylidene) acetate (1 and 2, respectively) were synthesized by multi-step reactions. Thestructures in a solution have been determined by ¹H-NMR spectroscopy and in the crystalform by X-ray analysis. Molecule 1 crystallized in a primitive monoclinic cell, spacegroup Р2_1/c. The cell dimensions are a=7.970(6) å, b=7.061(2) å, c=20.537(7) å,β=97.69(5)°, V=1145.3(10) å³. Molecule 2 crystallized in a triclinic cell, space group P-1, the cell dimensions are a=8.196(5) å, b=8.997(6) å, c=9.435(4) å, α=74.22(4)°,β=89.75(4)°, γ=74.07(5)°, V=641.9(6) å³. In both compounds the presence of intra-molecular NH---O=C hydrogen bonding between the nitrogen atom in position 3 of thequinazoline ring and a carbonyl group of the ethyl cyanoacetate residue was proven byquantum-chemical, ¹H-NMR and X-ray methods.
