In the title compound, C14H11NOS, the thiazine ring adopts a slightly distorted boat conformation. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two benzene rings is 20.2 (9)°. An intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond and a weak C—H⋯π interaction occur in the crystal, creating a two-dimensional network parallel to the bc plane.

1-(10H-Phenothiazin-3-yl)ethanone was obtained from Aldrich and it was crystallized from a dimethylformamide solution (m.p. 455–457 K)
The H15 atom bonded to N1 was freely refined. All of the other H atoms were placed in their calculated positions and then refined using the riding model with C—H lengths of 0.93 Å (CH), or 0.96 Å (CH3). Isotropic displacement parameters for these atoms were set to 1.18–1.20 (CH) or 1.51 (CH3) times Ueq of the parent atom.

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. |

Phenothiazine is a well known heterocycle. The phenothiazine structure occurs in many synthetic dyes, electroluminescent materials (Miller et al., 1999) and drugs, especially various antipsychotic drugs, e.g. chlorpromazine and antihistaminic drugs, e.g. promethazine (Wermuth, 2003). Recently, researchers have found new applications for phenothiazine derivatives in medicine related to antitubercular (Wang et al., 2008) and antitumor activities (Lam et al., 2001). A review of various aspects of phenothiazines has been published (Kojilo et al., 2001). The crystal and molecular structure studies of phenothiazine (Bell et al., 1968), chlorpromazine, thiethylperazine, thioridazine, phenothiazine, perphenazine, trifluperazine hydrochloride (McDowell, 1969, 1970, 1975, 1976, 1978, 1980), N-methylphenothiazine, N-ethylphenothiazine, N-benzylphenothiazine (Chu & Van der Helm, 1974, 1975, 1977), triflupromazine, 2-methoxyphenothiazine (Phelps & Cordes, 1974, 1975), Phenothiazine-picric acid (1/1) (Harrison et al., 2007) and 10-acetyl-10H-phenothiazine 5-oxide (Wang et al., 2009) have been reported. In view of the importance of phenothiazines, this paper reports the crystal structure of the title compound, 1-(10H-phenothiazin-2-yl)ethanone.
The title compound, C14H11NOS, consists of benzene and phenyl-ethanone rings fused to a thiazine ring which adopts a slightly distorted boat conformation with puckering parameters Q, θ and ϕ of 0.371 (4) Å, 100.1 (2)° and 181.457 (4)°, respectively (Cremer & Pople, 1975) (Fig. 1). For an ideal boat Phi= k x 60. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the two 6-membered benzene rings, and thiazine ring are 10.5 (5) and 10.3 (6)°. An N—H···O intermolecular hydrogen bond and a weak C—H···π interaction (Table 1) contributes to crystal packing creating a 2-D network structure parallel to the bc plane (Fig. 2).
