Crystal structure of N′-[2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)acetyl]benzohydrazide, an achiral compound crystallizing in space group P1 with Z = 1

Abstract

In the molecule of the title compound, C16H13N3O2S, one hydrazinic nitrogen atom is essentially planar, but the other is slightly pyramidalized. The torsion angle about the hydrazinic bond is 66.44 (15)°. Both hydrazinic hydrogen atoms lie antiperiplanar to the oxygen of the adjacent carbonyl group. The molecular packing is a layer structure determined by two classical hydrogen bonds, N—H...O=C and N—H...Nthiazole. The space group is P1 with Z = 1, which is unusual for an achiral organic compound.
