2,4,6-Trimethyl-1,3,5-tris(2-pyrimidinylthiomethyl)benzene chloroform hemisolvate
Abstract
The title compound, C24H24N6S3·0.5CHCl3 (TPSB·0.5CHCl3), crystallizes with one molecule of TPSB and half a solvent molecule of CHCl3 in the asymmetric unit. The three 2-pyrimidinylthiomethyl groups attached to the central benzene ring adopt a cis,cis,cis conformation. The molecule of TPSB is analogous to a `three-legged stool', and the dihedral angles between each of the three `legs' (2-pyrimidinyl rings) and the central benzene ring are 87.0 (5), 78.2 (3) and 97.1 (6)°, respectively, while the angles between the three `legs' are 41.1 (3), 91.3 (5) and 49.5 (7)°, respectively.
