Crystal structure of 2-fluoro-N-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)benzamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C10H7FN2OS, the mean plane of the central amide fragment (r.m.s. deviation = 0.048 Å) makes dihedral angles of 35.28 (8) and 10.14 (12)° with those of the fluorobenzene and thiazole rings, respectively. The thiazole S and amide O atoms lie to the same side of the molecule. In the crystal, pairs of N - H⋯N hydrogen bonds connect the molecules into inversion dimers with R 2 2(8) motifs, and weak C - H⋯O interactions connect the molecules into C(6) [001] chains. Together, the N - H⋯N and C - H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate (100) sheets.
