Hypothesis

To obtain 5,5',6,6'-tetrasubstituted-2,2'-bipyridines, the substituents in positions 5 and 5' of the product have to originate from an unsymmetrical dienophile.

Conclusion

The title compound was successfully synthesized and its X-ray structure was determined.

Supporting Evidence

  • The two triazine rings are coplanar to within a maximum deviation of 0.013 Å.
  • Molecules form layers parallel to the (100) crystallographic plane.
  • Adjacent layers are held together via a C—H⋯π interaction.

Takeaway

Scientists made a new chemical compound and figured out its structure using X-ray techniques.

Methodology

The compound was prepared by condensing oxalhydrazidine with 2,3-butanedione, and crystals were grown by slow evaporation of a benzene solution.
