2-Bromo-4-phenyl-1,3-thiazole

Abstract

In the title molecule, C9H6BrNS, the planes of the 2-bromo-1,3-thiazole and phenyl rings are inclined at 7.45(10)° with respect to each other. In the crystal, molecules related by a centre of symmetry are held together via π-π interactions, with a short distance of 3.815(2)Å between the centroids of the five- and six-membered rings. The crystal packing exhibits short intermolecular SBr contacts of 3.5402(6)Å. © Bunev et al. 2014.
