In the title compound, C17H12F2N2OS, the planar thiazole ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.012 Å) makes dihedral angles of 15.08 (9) and 81.81 (6)° with the 4-fluorophenyl and 2-fluorophenyl rings, respectively. The 2-fluorophenyl ring is disordered over two orientations with site-occupancy factors of 0.810 (3) and 0.190 (3). The structure contains intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The title compound was prepared according to the procedure reported earlier (Saeed et al. (2008a). Crystallization of the residue in CHCl3 afforded the title compound (81%) as white needles: Anal. calcd. for C14H12ClNO1: C 68.44, H 4.92, N 5.70%; found: C 68.39, H 4.90, N 5.67%
H atoms were geometrically positioned and refined using a riding model with fixed individual displacement parameters [Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) or 1.5 Ueq(Cmethyl)] using a riding model with C—H(aromatic) = 0.95 Å or C—H(methyl) = 0.98 Å. The ortho-fluoro-phenyl ring is disordered over two positions with site occupation factors of 0.810 (3) and 0.190 (3).

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 > σ(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. |

The imino-1,3-thiazoline group is found in a variety of biologically active natural products and finds extensive applications in medicinal chemistry. 2-Thiazolylimino-5-arylidene-4-thiazolidinones show noticeable antimicrobial activity against bacteria, yeasts and mould (Kim et al., 2007). 3-Substituted 2-(cyanoimino)thiazolidines can be used in agriculture due to their neonicotinoid insecticidal activity (Vicini et al., 2006). 3-Substituted thiazolidines show radioprotective properties against γ-radiation (Hosseinimehr et al., 2001). KHG22394, a 2-imino-1,3-thiazoline derivative, significantly inhibits melanin production in a dose-dependent manner, thus acting as a skin whitening agent (Zhang et al., 2000) and pifithrin-alpha, another iminothiazoline, is a reversible inhibitor of p53-mediated apoptosis and p53-dependent gene transcription (Pietrancosta et al., 2006).
