2-Phenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole

Abstract

The title compound, C15H14N2S, crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The central imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole unit is planar (r.m.s. deviations of 0.010 and 0.008 Å for the two independent molecules). The fused tetrahydrohexane ring adopts a half-chair conformation. The phenyl substituent is twisted by 16.96 (13) and 22.89 (12)° relative to the central imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole unit in the two molecules. In the crystal, there are no significant intermolecular interactions present.
