6-(2-Chloro­benz­yl)-1-(4-chloro­phen­yl)-7-hy­droxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one

The title compound, C(19)H(15)Cl(2)N(3)O(2), was obtained by a one-step cyclo­condensation of 2-amino-1-(4-chloro­phen­yl)imidazoline with diethyl (2-chloro­benz­yl)malonate under basic conditions. In the crystalline state, the mol­ecule exists as the 7-hy­droxy-5-oxo tautomer. The dihedral angles between the fused imidazopyrimidine and aromatic chloro­phenyl and chloro­benzyl rings are 14.2 (1) and 70.7 (1)°, respectively. The conformation of the mol­ecule is influenced by the intra­molecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, giving a nearly planar five-ring fused system [maximum deviation from the mean plane = 0.296 (2) Å]. In the crystal structure, strong inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains along the c axis. These chains are further stabilized by weak C—H⋯Cl and π–π inter­actions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.6707 (12) Å].
