N-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-4-(dimethylamino)-benzylamine

Abstract

The title compound, C16H15N3S, crystallizes with Z = 8 in space group P2(1)/c. The two crystallographically independent molecules, A and B, are rotational isomers around the C-N bond joining the benzothiazole and dimethylaminoaryl moieties. Molecules A and B have different intramolecular hydrogen bonds: C-H...N for molecule A and C-H...S for molecule B. For both molecules, intermolecular C-H...pi interactions are found between molecular pairs related by a centre of symmetry. The molecular packing is stabilized by C-H...pi and pi-pi intermolecular interactions.
