(Z)-5-(2-Chloro­benzyl­idene)thia­zolidine-2,4-dione

In the title compound, C₁₀H₆ClNO₂S, the benzene and thia­zolidine rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 14.22 (5)°. Intra­molecular C—H...O, C—H...Cl and C—H...S hydrogen bonds result in the formation of two nearly planar five-membered rings and one nonplanar six-membered ring, the five-membered rings being also nearly coplanar with the adjacent rings. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules.

S1. Comment

Thiazolidines are an important class of heteroaromatic compounds and have widespread applications from pharmaceuticals (Barreca et al., 2002) to materials (Botti et al., 1996). As part of our studies in this area, we report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, (I).

In the molecule of (I) (Fig. 1), the ligand bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). The intramolecular C—H···O, C—H···Cl and C—H···S hydrogen bonds (Table 1) cause to the formation of the nearly planar five-membered rings; C (Cl/C5—C7/H7A) and D (O1/C7—C9/H7A), in which they are also nearly co-planar with the adjacent rings A (C1—C6) and B (S/N/C8—C10), and non-planar six-membered ring E (S/C4/C5/C7/C8/H4A). The dihedral angles between them are A/C = 5.13 (3)° and B/D = 1.99 (3)°. The planar rings A (C1—C6) and B (S/N/C8—C10) are oriented at a dihedral angle of 14.22 (5)°.

In the crystal structure, intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules (Fig. 2), in which they seem to be effective in the stabilization of the structure.

S2. Experimental

Thiazolidine-2,4-dione (10 mmol) and 2-chlorobenzaldehyde (10 mmol) were dissolved in ethanol (10 ml) in a 50 ml round-bottomed flask and piperidine (5 d) was added. The flask was heated in a modified domestic microwave oven at 300 W for 5 min. After being cooled down, the mixture was poured into water and the crude compound (I) was filtered. Crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray analysis were obstained by slow evaporation of an ethanol solution.

S3. Refinement

H atoms were positioned geometrically, with N—H = 0.86 Å (for NH) and C—H = 0.93 Å for aromatic H, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with U_iso(H) = 1.2U_eq(C,N),

Special details

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.
