“…Pyrimidine nucleus has gained potential importance in medicinal chemistry, as some of its derivatives exhibited a wide range of biological activities, such as antiviral [5][6][7][8], anticoccidials [9,10], antimicrobial [11][12][13][14], antitumor [15][16][17][18], herbicidal, antileukemic [19,20], pesticides [21], CNS agents [22], tuberculostatic [23][24][25], antileishmanial [26][27][28], radioprotectant [29], anti-in ammatory [30], and cardiovascular activities [31,32]. The biological signicance of the above heterocycle prompted us to explore the synthesis of novel pyrimidines from 3-amino-2-methyl-5,6, 7,8-tetrahydrobenzo [4,5] The asymmetric unit of the title compound contains one independent molecule. The bond lengths of N1-C10 and N3-C12 are 1.300(5) and 1.282(5) Å, respectively, which are typical C = N double bonds and the con guration around these double bonds are trans.…”
