title: 4-Methyl-6-phenyl-pyrimidin-2-amine.
abstract: The title compound, C(11)H(11)N(3), was synthesized as part of our research into functionalized pyrimidines. It crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit that differ only in the twist between the two aromatic rings; the torsion angles between the rings are 29.9 (2) and 45.1 (2)°. The crystal packing is dominated by inter-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds between independent and equivalent mol-ecules, forming an infinite three-dimensional network.
