Comment

Recently, compounds containing the 2-(thiazolidin-2-ylidene)malononitrile group have attracted much interest because its containing a thiazole ring system are well known as efficient insecticide in pesticides, and have good plant-growth regulatory activity for a wide variety of crops e.g. thiacloprid (Hense et al., 2002). A new compound, (I), which containing thiazole ring has higher insecticide activity. We report here the crystal structure and synthesis of (I).

In (I) (Fig. 1), the bond lengths and angles are normal and in a agreement with those common to a previously reported structure (Cunico, et al., 2007). The thiazole ring is in and envelope conformation with the –CH2– group bonded to the S atom forming the flap. The carbon-nitrogen double bond of the molecule is trans. Flack x parameter = -0.0865 (with e.s.d. 0.0872) (Flack, 1983). The crystal structure involves C—H···S intermolecular hydrogen bonds.

Experimental

(Z)-(thiazolidin-2-ylideneamino)formonitrile 1.27 g (10.0 mmol) and potassium carbonate (10.0 mmol) were dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide(DMF) (15 ml) which was stirred 0.5 h at room temperature. Then 1-chloro-4-(1-chloroethyl)benzene 1.75 g (10.0 mmol) was added dropwising within 2 h at 283 K. The mixture was stirred for 8 h at 428 K. Upon cooling at room temperature. Then water (20 ml) was added. The mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (15 ml) and the organic layer was washed with water and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The excess CH2Cl2 was removed on a water vacuum pump to obtain the oily product. Crystallized from methanol to afford the title compound 2.0 g (76% yield) (Jeschke, et al., 2002.). Single crystals suitable for X-ray measurement were obtained by recrystallization from the mixture of acetone and methanol at room temperature.

Refinement

All C-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å, and included in the final cycles of refinement using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for the aryl and 1.5 Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms. Friedel pairs = 6200.

Special details

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
