(Z)-3-Butyl-5-(4-nitrobenzylidene)thiazolidine-2,4-dione

Abstract

In the title compound, C14H14N2O4S, the benzene and thiazolidine rings are almost coplanar with a dihedral angle of 2.98 (14)°. The butyl chain is directed almost perpendicular to the plane of the rest of the molecule. In the crystal, a combination of C—H...O hydrogen bonds and offset π–π interactions leads to the formation of a three-dimensional structure.
