Abstract

In the title zwitterionic compound, C20H15N3O3S2, the 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde groupA, the anilinic unitBand the 1,3-thiazol-2(3H)-imine groupCare each approximately planar with r.m.s. deviation of 0.0721, 0.0412 and 0.0125 Å, respectively. The dihedral angles betweenA/B,A/CandB/Care 24.70 (10), 79.97 (7) and 83.14 (6)°, respectively. There is an intramolecularS(6) motif involving the imine N—H and the naphtholate O atom. In the crystal, inversion-related molecules form dimers as a result of N—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds withR22(8) andR12(4) motifs, respectively. Weak π–π interactions between the benzene and naphthyl rings of inversion-related molecules have ring centroid–centroid distances of 3.638 (2) and 4.041 (2) Å. A C—H...π interaction occurs between the thiazol ring and the benzene ring of an adjacent molecule.
