N-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-amine

Abstract

In the title molecule, C9H6Cl2N2S, the mean planes of the benzene and thiazole rings make a dihedral angle of 54.18 (8)°. In the crystal, molecules are joined into dimers with an R22(8) ring motif by pairs of N—H...N hydrogen bonds. These dimers are linked by C—H...Cl interactions into layers parallel to (011). The thiazole rings form columns along the c-axis direction, with a centroid–centroid separation of 3.8581 (9) Å, indicating π–π interactions. An intramolecular C—H...S contact also occurs.
