title: 2-benzylamino-6-benzyloxypyrimidin-4(3H)-one: hydrogen-bonded chains of rings linked into sheets by a pi-pi-stacking interaction.
abstract: The title compound, C(18)H(17)N(3)O(2), crystallizes with Z' = 2 in space group P2(1)/c, and the two independent molecules are approximate, but not exact, mirror images. The molecular-electronic structure is strongly polarized, and the molecules are linked by paired N-H.O hydrogen bonds [H.O = 2.00-2.23 A, N.O = 2.798 (3)-2.992 (3) A and N-H.O = 145-151 degrees ] into two independent C(4)C(6)[R(2)(1)(6)] chains of rings, which are linked into sheets by a single aromatic pi-pi-stacking interaction.
