Abstract : α-Formylketene dithioacetal is an active precursor for the synthesis of a variety of organic compounds including pyrimidines and its functionalized materials. The present study deals with the structural versatility of a solid representative compound from the family of α-formylketene dithioacetal to the formation of functionalized pyrimidines derivatives through experimental as well as theoretical methods. 2-(3,4-dimethoxybenzoyl)-3,3-bis(methylsulfanyl)prop-2-enal, the representative compound was synthesized with a reported protocol and characterized through spectral methods. The complete three dimensional solid state structural studies were carried out utilizing single crystal X-ray crystallographic technique along with theoretical methods like classical and accelerated molecular dynamics simulation. Various quantum chemical parameters were also discussed to reveals the complete molecular geometry and reactivity of designated compound.
