In the molecule of the title compound, C18H13Cl2N3O2S2, the thiazolidinone ring has an envelope conformation with the S atom displaced by 0.394 (3) Å from the plane of the other ring atoms. The thiadiazole ring is oriented at a dihedral angle of 7.40 (4)° with respect to the 4-methoxyphenyl ring. Intramolecular C-H
S, C-H
N and C-H
Cl hydrogen bonds result in the formation of two planar and two non-planar five-membered rings. The planar five-membered rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 6.23 (3)°. The 2,4-dichlorophenyl ring is oriented at dihedral angles of 84.21 (4) and 83.55 (3)° with respect to the thiadiazole and 4-methoxyphenyl rings, respectively. In the crystal structure, intermolecular C-H
O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers.
N-(2,4-dichlorobenzylidene)-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol -2-amine (5 mmol) and mercapto-acetic acid (5 mmol) were added in toluene (50 ml). The water was removed by distillation for 5 h. The reaction mixture was left to cool to room temperature, filtered, and the filter cake was crystallized from acetone to give pure compound (I) (m.p. 507-509 K). Crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of an acetone solution.
H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C-H = 0.93, 0.98, 0.97 and 0.96 Å for aromatic, methine, methylene and methyl H, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.5 for methyl H and x = 1.2 for all other H atoms.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

1,3,4-Thiadiazole derivatives containing the thiazolidinone unit are of great interest because of their chemical and pharmaceutical properties. Some derivatives have fungicidal activities and exhibit certain herbicidal activities (Chen et al., 2000; Kidwai et al., 2000; Vicentini et al., 1998). On the other hand, some of them show insecticidal activities (Arun et al., 1999; Wasfy et al., 1996). We report herein the crystal structure of the title compound, (I).
In the molecule of (I), (Fig. 1), rings A (C2-C7), B (S1/N1/N2/C8/C9) and D (C13-C18) are, of course, planar. The dihedral angles between them are A/B = 7.40 (4)°, A/D = 83.55 (3)° and B/D = 84.21 (4)°. So, rings A and B are nearly coplanar. Ring C (S2/N3/C10-C12) has envelope conformation with atom S2 displaced by 0.394 (3) Å from the plane of the other ring atoms. The intramolecular C-H···S, C-H···N and C-H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Table 1) result in the formation of two planar and two non-planar five-membered rings E (S1/C4/H4A/C5/C8), F (N1/C5/C6/H6A/C8) and G (N3/C12-C14/H14A), H (Cl2/C12/H12A/C13/C18). The dihedral angle between the planar rings E and F is E/F = 6.23 (3)°, and they are oriented with respect to the adjacent rings at dihedral angles of A/E = 3.26 (4)°, A/F = 4.55 (3)°, B/E = 5.03 (4)° and B/F = 7.27 (4)°. So, they are also nearly coplanar.
In the crystal structure, intermolecular C-H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers (Fig. 2), in which they may be effective in the stabilization of the structure.
