Structure of 3-(2,6-dichlorobenzyl)-N,N-dimethyladenine

8-Chloro-7-(2,6-dichlorobenzyl)-1,3-dimethyl-7H-purine-2,6(1H,3H)-dione

“…2) is 162 . Analogous interactions are observed in the crystal structure of 3-(2,6-dichlorobenzyl)-N,N-dimethyladenine (Mishnev et al, 1991), where the distance between the Cl atom and the plane of the sixmembered ring is 3.25 A Ê . The only other signi®cant intermolecular interaction in the crystal structure of (I) is between pairs of inversion-related phenyl rings [at (x, y, z) and (1 À x, 1 À y, 1 À z)]; the centroids of these rings are separated by 4.261 A Ê , but the shortest atom±atom contact is C19Á Á ÁC19 ii of 3.392 (3) A Ê .…”
