Abstract top

In the title compound C19H11N3O2SClBr·C2H6OS, the molecule adopts an E configuration about the central C=N double bond. The chromene ring system and the thiazole ring are approximately planar, with maximum deviations of 0.027 (2) and 0.003 (1) Å, respectively. The central thiazole ring makes dihedral angles of 21.82 (9) and 5.88 (7)° with the chloro-substituted phenyl ring and the chromene ring, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are connected via N-H...O, N-H...S and C-H...O hydrogen bonds, forming supramolecular chains along the c axis. An intramolecular C-H...O hydrogen bond occurs. [pi]-[pi] interactions are observed between the thiazole and phenyl rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6293 (10) Å]. A short Br...Cl contact of 3.37 (6) Å also occurs.

Comment top

Coumarin derivatives have remarkable medicinal value due to their potential chemotherapeutic (Liebig et al., 1974), fungicidal (Pathak et al., 1981), antiviral (Hwu et al., 2008) and anticoagulant (Lee et al., 2003) properties. Furthermore, coumarins with a variety of substituted thiazole rings exhibit promising biological activities. Recently, some coumarins incorporating thiazolyl semicarbazones which act as anticonvulsant agents were reported (Siddiqui et al., 2009). The title compound (I) is a new derivative of hydrazinyl thiazolyl coumarin. We present here its crystal structure.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound (Fig. 1) consists of one (E)-6-bromo-3-(2-(2-(2-chlorobenzylidene)hydrazinyl)thiazol-5-yl)- 2H-chromen-2-one molecule and one dimethylsulfoxide solvent molecule. The chromene (O1/C1–C9) ring system and thiazole (S1/N1/C10–C12) ring are approximately planar, with maximum deviations of 0.027 (2) Å for atom C9 and 0.003 (1)Å for atom N1, respectively. The molecule adopts an E configuration about the central C13N3 double bond. The central thiazole (S1/N1/C10–C12) ring makes dihedral angles of 21.82 (9)° and 5.88 (7)° with the chloro-substituted phenyl (C14–C19) ring and the chromene (O1/C1–C9) ring, respectively.

In the crystal structure, (Fig. 2), the molecules are connected via N2—H1N1···S2, N2—H1N1···O3, C13—H13A···O3, C17—H17A···O3 and C20—H20C···O2 (Table 1) hydrogen bonds to form one dimensional supramolecular chains along the c-axis. An intramolecular C11—H11···O2 hydrogen bond stabilizes the molecular structure. π···π interactions are observed between the thiazole (S1/N1/C10–C12) and phenyl (C2–C7) rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6293 (10)) Å; -1+x, y, z]. A short Br···Cl contact of 3.37 Å also occurs.

Experimental top

2-chlorobenzylidene thiosemicarbazone (Tian et al., 1997) and 6-bromo-3-(2-bromoacetyl)-2H-chromen-2-one (Yaragatti et al., 2010) were synthesized as reported in the literature. Title compound (I) was prepared by reacting 2-chlorobenzylidene thiosemicarbazone (2.5 mmol) with 6-bromo-3-(2-bromoacetyl)-2H- chromen-2-one (2.5 mmol) in chloroform-ethanol (3:1) mixture. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 2–3 hours at 60°C to yield a dense yellow precipitate. The mixture was cooled in ice bath and basified with ammonia to pH 7–8. The title compound (I) was recrystallized from DMSO as yellow needle-like crystals.

Refinement top

Atoms H11 and H1N1 were located from a difference Fourier map and refined freely [N–H = 0.95 (3) Å]. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically [C–H = 0.93 or 0.96 Å] and were refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5 Ueq(C). A rotating group model was applied to the methyl groups. The highest residual electron density peak is located at 0.78 Å from Br1 and the deepest hole is located at 0.68 Å from Br1.

Special details top

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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.
