Comment

1,3,4-Thiadiazole derivatives attracted considerable attention due to their broad spectrum of chemical and pharmaceutical properties (Nakagawa et al., 1996; Wang et al., 1999), with particular attention being paid to the anti-trypanosomal activities of Megazol and related compounds (Carvalho et al., 2004; Riente et al., 2009; Poorrajab et al., 2009). Herewith we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, (I), a new 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivative.

The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Fig.1. In the crystal structure, the molecule is situated on a two-fold rotational axis so asymmetric unit contains a half of the molecule. 1,3,4-Thiadiazole ring is planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0048 (2)Å and maximum deviation of 0.0072 (2)Å for atom C7. The dihedral angle between the thiadiazole and attached phenyl rings is 5.8 (3)°. As a result of π-π conjugation, the Csp2-S bond length [S2—C8 = 1.751 (3) Å] is significantly shorter than the Csp3-S bond length [S2—C9 = 1.810 (2) Å].

Experimental

A suspension of 5-diphenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-thiol (2.0 mmol) and 1,1-dibromomethane (1.0 mmol) in ethanol (10 ml) was stirred at room temperature. The reaction progress was monitored via TLC. The resulting precipitate was filtered off, washed with cold ethanol, dried and purified to give the target product as light yellow solid in 95% yield. Crystals of (I) suitable for single-crystal X-ray analysis were grown by slow evaporation of a solution in chloroform-ethanol (1:1).

Refinement

All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding (C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å) and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(parent).

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.
