In the title compound, C14H14ClN3S, the imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole system is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.006 (2) Å. The dihedral angle between the imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole and chlorophenyl rings is 5.07 (8)°. In the crystal, there are no classical hydrogen bonds but stabilization is provided by weak π–π [centroid–centroid distance = 3.5697 (11) Å] and C—H⋯π interactions.

5-Isobutyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-amine( 1 equivalent) and 4-chlorophenacyl bromide (1 equivalent) are refluxed with ethanol for 4 hrs. The solvent was then distilled off and the reaction mass was poured onto crushed ice. The resulting solid, 6-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-isobutylimidazo[2,1-b] [1,3,4]thiadiazole, that separated out was filtered and dried. The compound was recrystallized using ethanol and DMF mixture. M.pt. 121–126 °C.
All the H atoms were positioned geometrically [C–H = 0.93–0.97 Å] and were refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5 Ueq(C).
Imidazo [2,1-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives are found to be biologically active compounds possessing anticancer (Terzioglu, 2003), antitubercular (Kolavi et al., 2006), antibacterial (Gadad et al., 2000), antifungal (Andotra et al., 1997), anticonvulsant, analgesic (Khazi et al., 1996), anti-inflammatory (Andreani et al., 1982), diuretic (Andreani et al., 1991) and herbicidal activities (Andreani et al., 1991). Moreover 1,3,4-thiadiazoles have many interesting biological activities, for example, 2-amino-5-(trifluoromethylphenyl alkyl)-1,3,4 thidadiazoles are used in the treatment of insomnia and anxiety (Eberle & Robert, 1977).
The
of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The imidazo[2,1-b] [1,3,4]thiadiazole (S1/N1–N3/C7–C10) ring is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.006 (2) Å for atom N3. The dihedral angle between the imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole (S1/N1–N3/C7–C10) ring and the chlorophenyl ring (C1–C6) is 5.07 (8)°.In the π–π interactions between the imidazole rings (N1–N2/C7–C8/C10) [centroid-to-centroid (2-x, -y, 2-z) distance = 3.5697 (11) Å]. Furthermore, the is stabilized by C—H···π interactions (Table 1), involving the (C1–C6)(centroid Cg3) ring.

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

Imidazo [2,1-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives are found to be biologically active compounds possessing anticancer (Terzioglu, 2003), antitubercular (Kolavi et al., 2006), antibacterial (Gadad et al., 2000), antifungal (Andotra et al., 1997), anticonvulsant, analgesic (Khazi et al., 1996), anti-inflammatory (Andreani et al., 1982), diuretic (Andreani et al., 1991) and herbicidal activities (Andreani et al., 1991). Moreover 1,3,4-thiadiazoles have many interesting biological activities, for example, 2-amino-5-(trifluoromethylphenyl alkyl)-1,3,4 thidadiazoles are used in the treatment of insomnia and anxiety (Eberle & Robert, 1977).
The asymmetric unit of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The imidazo[2,1-b] [1,3,4]thiadiazole (S1/N1–N3/C7–C10) ring is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.006 (2) Å for atom N3. The dihedral angle between the imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole (S1/N1–N3/C7–C10) ring and the chlorophenyl ring (C1–C6) is 5.07 (8)°.
In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), there are no classical hydrogen bonds but stabilization is provided by weak π–π interactions between the imidazole rings (N1–N2/C7–C8/C10) [centroid-to-centroid (2-x, -y, 2-z) distance = 3.5697 (11) Å]. Furthermore, the crystal structure is stabilized by C—H···π interactions (Table 1), involving the (C1–C6)(centroid Cg3) ring.
