In the title compound, C17H11BrFN3S, the imidazothiadiazole and bromophenyl rings are individually almost planar, with maximum deviations of 0.0215 (4) and 0.0044 (4) Å, respectively, and are inclined at an angle of 27.34 (3)° with respect to each other. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the fluorobenzyl and imidazothiadiazole rings is 79.54 (3)°. The is stabilized by intermolecular C—H⋯N interactions resulting in chains of molecules along the b axis.

A mixture of equimolar quantities of 2-amino-(4-fluorobenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole (2.69, 0.013 mol) and phenacyl bromide (0.01 mol) was refluxed in dry ethanol for 18 hrs. The excess of solvent was distilled off and the solid hydrobromide salt that separated was collected by filtration, suspended in water and neutralized by aqueous sodium carbonate solution to get free base 6-(4-bromophenyl)-2-(4-fluorobenzyl)imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole. It was filtered, washed with water, dried and recrystallized from ethanol.
The H atoms were placed at calculated positions in the riding model approximation with C—H = 0.93 and 0.97 Å, for aryl and methylene type H-atoms, respectively, and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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. |

Many imidazothiadiazole derivatives have been reported to possess diverse medicinal properties such as anthelmintic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic properties and many other activities of therapeutic significance (Palagiano et al., 1995). Moreover, the presence of fluoro substituent in a molecule enhances biological activity. Accumulation of fluorine on carbon leads to increased oxidative and thermal stability (Strunecka et al., 2004; Park et al., 2001). In this article we report the synthesis and crystal struuture of a novel imidazothiadiazole derivative, (I).
In the title compound (Fig. 1), the imidazothiadiazole and bromophenyl rings are individually planar with maximum deviations of 0.0215 (4) and 0.0044 (4) Å, for C2 and C9, respectively; the mean-planes of imidazothiadiazole and bromophenyl rings make a dihedral angle of 27.34 (3)° with respect to each other. Similar deviations from planarity of the corresponding rings have been reported earlier (Yang et al., 2006). The dihedral angle between fluorobenzyl and imidazothiadiazole rings is 79.54 (3)° which is almost orthogonal. The thiadiazole moiety displays differences in the bond lengths S1-C2 [1.758 (4) Å] and S1-C3 [1.731 (4) Å] indicating that the resonance effect caused by the imidazole ring is stronger than that caused by the thiadiazole ring. The molecular structure is stabilized by strong (C1—H1B···N3) and ratherd weak (C4—H4···N3) intermolecular interactions resulting in chains of molecules lying along the b-axis (Table 1 and Fig. 2).
