2,2-Diphenyl-N-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)acetamide
Abstract
In the title molecule, C17H14N2OS, the mean plane of the acetamide group forms dihedral angles of 75.79 (5), 81.85 (6) and 12.32 (5)° with the two phenyl rings and the thiazole ring, respectively. In the crystal, N—H...N hydrogen bonds link pairs of molecules into inversion dimers with R22(8) ring motifs. The crystal packing is further stabilized by C—H...π interactions and by π–π interactions with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.6977 (5) Å.
