Crystal structure of 2-(2-methylphenyl)-1,3-thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridine

Abstract

In the title molecule, C13H10N2S, the dihedral angle between the planes through the non-H atoms of the methylbenzene and thiazolopyridine groups is 36.61 (5)°. In the crystal, the thiazolopyridine groups of inversion-related molecules overlap, with a minimum ring-centroid separation of 3.6721 (9) A. Furthermore, the methylbenzene groups from neighbouring molecules interact edge-to-face at an angle of 71.66 (5)°. In addition, weak C-H··· N hydrogen bonds form chains exending along [100].
