1,3-Bis(4-methylbenzyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione

Abstract

In the title mol­ecule, C20H20N2O2, the central pyrimidine ring forms dihedral angles of 71.9 (1) and 69.8 (1)° with the two benzene rings. In the crystal, weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link mol­ecules into centrosymmetric dimers. The crystal packing exhibits also π–π inter­actions as indicated by short distances of 3.674 (2) Å between the centroids of the pyrimidine rings of neighbouring mol­ecules.
