2-Methyl-4,6-bis­(1-methyl­hydrazino)pyrimidine

In the title compound, C(7)H(14)N(6), the amine groups of the two methyl­hydrazino substituents are orientated in the opposite direction to the methyl substituent at the 2-position of the pyrimidine ring. The mol­ecule is almost planar with only the two amine N atoms lying substanti­ally out of the mean plane of the pyrimidine ring [by 0.1430 (2) and 0.3092 (2) Å]. The H atoms on these amine groups point inwards towards the aromatic ring, such that the lone pair of electrons points outwards from the mol­ecule. Each mol­ecule is linked to two others through N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds between the two amino groups, forming a one-dimensional chain in the [010] direction. Offset face-to-face π–π stacking inter­actions between the pyrimidine rings organize these chains into a two-dimensional array [centroid–centroid distance = 3.789 (2) Å].
