3-{[5-(4-Bromophenyl)imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazol-2-yl]methyl}-1,2-benzoxazole
Abstract
In the title compound, C18H11BrN4OS, the imidazothiadiazole and benzisoxazole rings are individually planar with maximum deviations of 0.025 (3) 0.015 (4) Å, respectively, and are inclined at an angle of 23.51 (7)° with respect to each other. The planes of the imidazothiadiazole and bromophenyl rings are inclined at an angle of 27.34 (3)°. In the crystal, intermolecular C—H...N interactions result in chains of molecules along the b and c axes. Moreover, C—H...O interactions result in centrosymmetric head-to-head dimers with R22(24) graph-set motifs. The molecular packing is further stabilized by π–π stacking interactions between the imidazole rings with a shortest centroid–centroid distance of 3.492 (3) Å. In addition, C—H...π interactions are observed in the crystal structure.
