DFT calculation, hirshfeld analysis and X-ray crystal structure of some synthesized N-alkylated(S-alkylated)-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]quinazolines

Abstract

The present work aimed to synthesize 2-methylthio-triazoloquinazoline derivatives and study their X-ray, NMR, DFT and Hirshfeld characteristics. The cyclocondensation of dimethyl-N-cyanodithiocarbonate with 2-hydrazinobenzoic acid hydrochloride resulted in an intermediate, 2-methylthio-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-5-one (A), which upon treatment with phosphorus pen-tasulfide, transformed into the 2-methylthio-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-5-thione (B). Reaction of 2-methylthio-triazoloquinazolines (A&B) with alkyl halides (allyl bromide and ethyl iodide) in basic medium afforded 4-allyl-2-methylthio-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-5-one (1; N-alkylated) and 5-ethylthio-2-methylthio-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]quinazoline (2; S-alkylated), respectively. Their molecular and supramolecular structures were presented. Unambiguously, the molecular structures of 1 and 2 were confirmed via NMR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The resulting findings confirmed the structures of 1 and 2 and determined their crystalized system (monoclinic system; P21/n space group). Hirshfeld analysis of 1 revealed the importance of the significantly short O…H (6.7%), S…S (1.2%) and C…C (2.8%); however, the short H···H (42.6%), S···H (16.3%) and C···C (4.3%) were showed in 2 by intermolecular interactions in the molecular packing. The 1,2,4-triazolo-quinzolines (1&2) were anticipated to be relatively polar compounds with net dipole moments of 2.9284 and 4.2127 Debye, respectively. The molecular electrostatic potential, atomic charge distribu-tion maps and reactivity descriptors for 1 and 2 were also determined. The calculated nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the targets 1 and 2 were well correlated with the experimental data.
