1-(4-Methoxyphenyl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione

Abstract

In the title compound, C10H10N2O3, the dihedral angle between the benzene and imidazolidine rings is 6.0 (4)°, consistent with an essentially planar mol­ecule. In the crystal, inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding between centrosymmetrically related mol­ecules leads to loosely associated dimeric aggregates. These are connected into a three-dimensional network by C—H⋯O inter­actions, as well as π–π inter­actions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.705 (3) and 3.622 (3) Å] between the imidazolidine and benzene rings.

3-Hydroxymethyl-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione

“…In the title compound, all bond lengths and angles are normal and in a good agreement with those reported previously (Gerdil, 1960;Sun et al, 2010). The dihedral angle between the benzene ring (C2-C7) and imidazolidine ring (C9-C10/N1/N2) is 7.1 (5)°.…”
