Abstract

In the molecule of the title compound, C25H21N3OS, which was prepared by mild oxidation of the corresponding 5,6,7,8,9,10-hexahydro analogue, the fused carbocyclic ring adopts an envelope conformation. Pairs of molecules are linked into cyclic centrosymmetric dimers by pairs of inversion-related N-H···O hydrogen bonds.

Keywords: biological activity; crystal structure; hydrogen-bonded dimer; tetrahydropyrimidin-4(3H)-one.
