STRUCTURE OF 2-ANILINO-4,6-DIMETHOXY-1,3,5-TRIAZINE

C11H12N4O2, M(r) = 232.2, monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 10.980 (1), b = 6.317 (1), c = 16.207 (2) angstrom, beta = 90.64 (1)degrees, V = 1124.0 angstrom 3, D(x) = 1.372 Mg m-3, Z = 4, Cu K-alpha, lambda = 1.54178 angstrom, mu = 0.78 mm-1, F(000) = 488, T = 293 K, final R = 0.058 for 1434 observed [F > 2-sigma(F)] reflections. The lengths of the N(amine)-C bonds linking the phenyl and s-triazine rings [1.415 (4) and 1.350 (4) angstrom, respectively] indicate extensive conjugation, as do the C(triazine)-OMe distances [1.342 (4) and 1.329 (3) angstrom]. The near planarity of the molecule is also consistent with such conjugation. Adjacent s-trazine rings are separated by 3.35 angstrom.
