3-(Thiazol-2-ylamino)isobenzofuran-1(3H)-one

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, C<inf>11</inf>H <inf>8</inf>N<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>S, is stabilized by one N-H⋯N and two C-H⋯O intermolecular hydrogen bonds and also by three C-H⋯π interactions. The C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate R<inf>4</inf> 4(26) ring motifs and the N-H⋯N and one of the C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate R<inf>4</inf>3(26) ring motifs. The phthalide ring system of the molecule is almost planar and forms a dihedral angle of 74.84 (9)° with the thiazole ring. © 2006 International Union of Crystallography. All rights reserved.
