Crystal structure of N-[3-(benzo[d]thia-zol-2-yl)-6-bromo-2H-chromen-2-yl-idene]-4-methyl-benzenamine.

Abstract

The title compound, C23H15BrN2OS, was the unexpected product in an attempted synthesis of the isomeric 3-(benzo[d]thia-zol-2-yl)-6-bromo-1-p-tolyl-quinolin-2(1H)-one. The Cchromene=N-C angle is wide [125.28 (8)°]. The benzo-thia-zole and chromene ring systems are almost coplanar, with their planes parallel to (10); the toluene ring system is rotated by ca 40° out of the chromene plane. The mol-ecular packing involves layers with π-stacking, borderline 'weak' hydrogen bonds and possible C-H⋯π contacts.
