N-(1,3-Benzothiazol-2-yl)-4-(Dimethyl­amino)­benzyl­amine

Abstract

The title compound, C<inf>16</inf>H<inf>15</inf>N<inf>3</inf>S, crystallizes with Z = 8 in space group P2<inf>1</inf>/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⋯π interactions are found between molecular pairs related by a centre of symmetry. The molecular packing is stabilized by C - H⋯π and π-π intermolecular interactions. © 2004 International Union of Crystallography Printed in Great Britain - all rights reserved.
