4-Methyl-6-phenylpyrimidin-2-amine

The title compound, C11H11N3, was synthesized as part of our research into functionalized pyrimidines. It crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit that differ only in the twist between the two aromatic rings; the torsion angles between the rings are 29.9 (2) and 45.1 (2)°. The crystal packing is dominated by intermolecular N—H...N hydrogen bonds between independent and equivalent molecules, forming an infinite three-dimensional network
