The title molecules, C
15H
9ClF
2N
2S and C
16H
12F
2N
2S, respectively, display the well known butterfly-like conformation with a flat thiazolobenzimidazole system. In both compounds, the mean plane through the tricyclic system is almost perpendicular to the 2,6-difluorophenyl ring. This arrangement of the aryl group is determined by two intramolecular hydrogen bonds and by an attractive F
S interaction.

The title compounds were obtained as described previously by Chimirri et
al. (1996). Suitable single crystals were obtained by recrystallization
from ethanol.
H atoms were placed in calculated positions (the idealized geometry depending on
the parent atom type) and included in the refinement as riding atoms, with a
common fixed isotropic displacement parameter (Uiso = 0.06 Å2).
The usual rotational disorder of the terminal methyl group in compound (II)
was handled by splitting it into two staggered positions, and fixing their
occupancies to the best values (0.6 versus 0.4).
For both compounds, data collection: P3/V (Siemens, 1989); cell refinement: P3/V; data reduction: SHELXTL-Plus (Sheldrick, 1990); program(s) used to solve structure: SIR92 (Altomare, 1994); program(s) used to refine structure: SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 1997); molecular graphics: XPW (Siemens, 1996); software used to prepare material for publication: locally modified PARST97 (Nardelli, 1995) and SHELXL97.

Special details top
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. Reflection intensities were evaluated by profile fitting of a 96-step peak scan
among 2θ shells (Diamond, 1969). Whereas the final difference Fourier maps
showed several H-atom positions. Diamond, R. (1969). Acta Cryst. A25, 43–55. 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. |

Special details top
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. |

As part of a structure–activity relationship study on a series of thiazolo[3,4-a]benzimidazole derivatives endowed with anti-HIV activity, we have already demonstrated (Chimirri et al., 1997) that the geometric features of 1-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-1H,3H-thiazolo[3,4-a]benzimidazole (TBZ), the lead compound of the series, determine the biological activity. Moreover, we have observed (Chimirri et al., 1996) that the anti-HIV activity is maintained by introducing a Cl atom at position 7 of the tricyclic system, whereas the presence of a methyl group at position 6 leads to a drop-off in activity. In this context, we report the crystal structures of 7-chloro-1-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-1H,3H-thiazolo[3,4-a]benzimidazole, (I), and 1-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-6-methyl-1H,3H-thiazolo[3,4-a]benzimidazole, (II), in order to determine whether the difference in activity could be related to any change in the molecular geometry or to the presence of a substituent on the benzene ring.
Both compounds (I) and (II) are built up by three fused rings to form a flat thiazolobenzimidazole system (the atomic deviations from the weighted least-squares mean plane are within 0.02 Å); the thiazole ring in (I) has a chiral C atom bonding the 2,6-difluorophenyl group. Since both compounds crystallize in centrosymmetric space groups, in the solid state, a racemic mixture is obtained from the synthesis. The molecular structure determinations of (I) and (II) confirm the well known butterfly conformation, already shown to exist in other 1-aryl-1H,3H-thiazolo[3,4-a]benzimidazole derivatives (Bruno et al., 1996, 1997, 1998). Such a disposition is evidenced by considering the dihedral angle between the three fused rings (the thiazolobenzimidazole system) and the 2,6-difluorophenyl substituent at C1, i.e. 100.28 (5) and 87.62 (6)° for (I) and 2, respectively. This arrangement is mainly due either to hindered rotation around the C1—C10 bond axis or to further stabilization through an intramolecular interaction between the H atom of the chiral Csp3 atom and the electron-rich F atoms [F1···C1 = 2.793 (2) Å and C1—H1···F1 = 108.2 (1)°, and F2···C9 = 2.990 (2) Å and F2···H9—C9 108.8 (2)° for (I); F2···C1 = 2.781 (3) Å and C1—H1···F2 = 108.6 (2)°, and F1···C9 = 3.225 (2) Å and F1···H9B—C9 97.6 (2)° for (II)].
However, the puckering analysis (Cremer & People, 1975) shows that the conformations of five-membered thiazolidine ring (S/C9/C8/N2/C1) are essentially different in (I) and (II); the conformation is intermediate between envelope (ϕ = 180°) and twisted (ϕ = 90°) in (I) [ϕ = -145.4 (4)°, Q = 0.221 (2) and Dσ(S) = 0.005 (1)] and a flatter envelope in (II) [ϕ = -170 (1)°, Q = 0.097 (2) and D2(C8) = 0.006 (1)]. Such a difference may arise from the attractive F1···S [3.063 (1) Å] interaction (Bruno, Nicoló et al., 1997) that in (I) pushes the S atom up to -0.398 (1) Å out of the best mean plane through atoms C9/C8/N2/C1 on the opposite side of the F atom. In (II), the larger F···S separation of 3.236 (2) Å leaves the S atom 0.179 (1) Å out of this plane.
Bond distances of the thiazolidine ring are similar to those observed in a series of analogous TBZ compounds. In each compound, the bond distances involving the S atom, S—C1 and S—C9, are not equivalent: 1.838 (2) and 1.825 (2) Å in (I) versus 1.848 (2) and 1.816 (2) Å in (II). The significant difference of 0.032 Å in (II) might be caused by the steric effect of the 2,6-difluorophenyl group linked to the C1 atom. The endocyclic C9—S—C1 bond angles of 95.3 (1) and 95.4 (1)° for (I) and (II), respectively, are in the narrow range of values reported in the Cambridge Structural Database (Allen et al., 1991) for penicillin and other biologically active substituted thiazolidines. The sum of the valence angles around N2 is 360.0 (1)° in (I) and 359.8 (2)° in (II), indicating its sp2 hybridization. The N—C bond distances are also indicative of the π-delocalization over the whole naphthoimidazole fragment.
The molecular packing for both compounds is essentially determined by normal van der Waals interactions and some weak hydrogen bonds involving the F and N atoms as acceptors. However, the H···N intermolecular network in compound (I) causes each centrosymmetric molecular pair to assume a flat head-to-tail disposition. Each couple acts as a step of a staircase constituted by their overlap along the b axis like a pseudo-polymeric column, as shown in Fig. 3.
