Abstract: The title compound, 2-p-tolyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[d]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole, C₁₆H₁₆N₂S, is a condensation product of pifithrin-, which has been previously reported as an inhibitor of the tumour suppressor protein p53. The molecule contains a planar fused pair of heterocyclic five-membered rings and the attached p-tolyl substituent is also essentially coplanar.
