Crystal structure of (E)-4-[N-(7-methyl-2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)carboximidoyl]phenol

The molecule of the title compound, C21H17N3O, is built up from fused five- and six-membered rings connected to a methyl group, a phenyl ring and an (iminomethyl)phenol group. The fused ring system is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.031 Å) and forms dihedral angles of 64.97 (7) and 18.52 (6)° with the phenyl ring and the (iminomethyl)phenol group, respectively. In the crystal, centrosymmetric molecules are linked by pairs of C—H...π interactions into dimeric units, which are further connected by O–H...N hydrogen bonds to form layers parallel to (101)

(E)-2-Phenyl-N-(thiophen-2-ylmethylidene)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-amine

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C18H13N3S, is build up from two independent molecules slightly inclined to each other. In each molecule, the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine ring system is almost planar, with the largest deviation from the mean plane being 0.022 (1) Å in the first molecule and 0.018 (1) Å in the second molecule. The fused-ring system belonging to the first molecule makes dihedral angles of 24.06 (7) and 40.52 (8)° with the thiophenyl and phenyl rings, respectively. The corresponding values observed in the second molecule are nearly the same, namely 25.20 (7) and 38.99 (7)°, respectively. The dihedral angle between the thiophenyl and phenyl rings is 63.47 (9)° in the first molecule and 47.49 (9)° in the second. The cohesion of the crystal structure is ensured by two C—H...N hydrogen bonds between molecules and by three C—H...π interactions, forming a three-dimensional network

Crystal structure of (5-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)methanol

In the title compound, C9H10N2O, the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine moiety is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.024 Å). The methanol group is nearly perpendicular to its mean plane as indicated by the C—C—C—O and N—C—C—O torsion angles of 80.04 (16) and −96.30 (17)°, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with an R22(10) ring motif. The dimers are liked via C—H...O hydrogen bonds, enclosing R22(10) ring motifs and forming ribbons along [201]. The ribbons are linked via a number of π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distances vary from 3.4819 (8) to 3.7212 (8) Å], forming a three-dimensional structure
