N-Butyl-4,6-diphenylpyrimidin-2-amine

Abstract

In the title compound, C20H21N3, the pyrimidine ring is inclined at dihedral angles of 51.57 (4) and 2.49 (4)° to the two phenyl rings. The dihedral angle between the two terminal phenyl rings is 50.44 (4)°. In the crystal, adjacent mol­ecules are linked via a pair of N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming an inversion dimer with an R 2 2(8) ring motif. Furthermore, the crystal structure is stabilized by a weak π–π inter­action, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.6065 (5) Å.
