Ethyl 2-(5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)acetate

Abstract

The title molecule, C12H12N2O3S, is composed of two individually planar units, viz. 5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl-sulfanyl and ethyl acetate, which are oriented at almost right angles [80.07 (8)°] with respect to each other. The structure is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H...O and C—H...N hydrogen bonds. The phenyl and oxadiazole rings show π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.846 (2) Å] and there is also a short π-interaction between the carbonyl O atom and the oxadiazole ring [the distance from this O atom to the centroid of the oxadiazole ring is 3.156 (2) Å].
