(2-Anilino-4-methyl­thia­zol-5-yl)(4-chloro­phen­yl)methanone

The title compound, C₁₇H₁₃ClN₂OS, crystallizes with three independent mol­ecules (A, B and C) in the asymmetric unit which differ slightly in their conformations. In mol­ecule A, the thiazole ring makes dihedral angles of 27.44 (14) and 66.05 (6)° with the phenyl and chloro­benzene rings. In mol­ecule B, the respective angles are 29.09 (10) and 47.63 (9)°, while values of 25.67 (11) and 51.01 (7)° are observed in mol­ecule C. In the crystal, N—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds generate a three-dimensional network structure.

Methyl 6-chloro­nicotinate

The mol­ecule of the title compound, C₇H₆ClNO₂, is almost planar, with a dihedral angle of 3.34 (14)° between the COOMe group and the aromatic ring. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are arranged into (12) layers by C—H...N hydrogen bonds and there are π–π stacking inter­actions between the aromatic rings in adjacent layers [centroid–centroid distance 3.8721 (4) Å]
