Abstract

The title compound, (S)-5-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-imidazolidine-2,4-dione, a new alpha-amino acid hydantoin derivative with formula C10H10N2O3 has been synthesized and structurally characterized by MS, FT-IR, NMR, and X-ray diffraction techniques. Spectroscopy results are consistent with the skeleton structure. The powder X-ray diffraction data confirms the phase purity of the crystalline sample. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) (N degrees 19), Z = 4, and unit cell parameters a = 6.217(3) angstrom, b = 7.653(3) angstrom, c = 19.824(8) angstrom. The molecular structure and crystal packing are stabilized by intermolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot O and O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen formed infinite twodimensional chains, with graph-set C(6), C(5) and C(11) that run along the a, b and c directions forming a two-dimensional network. Hirshfeld surface analysis confirm that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from N-H center dot center dot center dot O and O-H center dot center dot center dot O interactions. Energy framework calculations suggest that the contacts formed between molecules are slightly electrostatic and revealed that interactions exhibit approximately complex zig-zag shape topology in the crystal structure.
