5-Amino-1-[2-(diethylamino)ethyl]-1H-imidazole-4-carboxamide

Journal article, 2006

Intramolecular hydrogen bonds influence the molecular conformation of the title compound, C10H19N5O, resulting in an extended planar hydrogen-bonded heterocyclic ring structure. The bulky diethylaminoethyl group adopts a butterfly conformation. The stabilization of the crystal structure is supported by an extensive network of intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
