Crystal structure, Hirshfeld analysis and a molecular docking study of a new inhibitor of the Hepatitis B virus (HBV): ethyl 5-methyl-1,1-dioxo-2-{[5-(pentan-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl]methyl}-2H-1,2,6-thiadiazine-4-carboxylate

Abstract

The title compound, C15H22N4O5S, was prepared via alkylation of 3-(chloromethyl)-5-(pentan-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole in anhydrous dioxane in the presence of triethylamine. The thiadiazine ring has an envelope conformation with the S atom displaced by 0.4883 (6) Å from the mean plane through the other five atoms. The planar 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring is inclined to the mean plane of the thiadiazine ring by 77.45 (11)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along the b-axis direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots have been used to analyse the intermolecular contacts present in the crystal. Molecular docking studies were use to evaluate the title compound as a potential system that interacts effectively with the capsid of the Hepatitis B virus (HBV), supported by an experimental in vitro HBV replication model.
