Abstract

The non-H atoms of the cation of the title salt, C8H9N4S+·Cl, are approximately co-planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.037 Å), with one amino group forming an intra­molecular hydrogen bond to the tertiary N atom of the benzothia­zole fused-ring system. The cations and anions are linked by cyclic R 2 1(6) N—H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding associations, generating helical chains running along the b-axis direction.

Comment

A recent study (Mohamed et al., 2011) describes the crystal structure of 2-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)guanidine, which was synthesized by the reaction of 2-aminothiophenol and cyanoguanidine in 10% sulfuric acid medium. The product of the reaction is probably a sulfate or bisulfate salt that is then converted to the neutral compound upon treatment with sodium hydroxide. In the present study, 2-(1,3-benzothioazol-2-yl)guanidine is converted to the hydrochloride salt by treatment with hydrochloric acid. The non-H atoms of the cation of the title salt, C8H9N4S+ Cl- (Scheme I), lie on a plane (r.m.s. deviation 0.037 Å), with one amino group forming an intramolecular hydrogen bond to the tertiary N atom of the benzothiazole fused-ring (Fig. 1). The cations and anions are linked by cyclic N—H···Cl hydrogen-bonding associations [graph set R12(6) (Etter et al., 1990)] (Table 1), to generate helical chains running along the b-axis of the orthorhombic unit cell. This salt was first reported in 1943 (Takahashi & Niino, 1943).

Experimental

2-(1,3-Benzothiazol-2-yl)guanidine (0.05 mol) was heated in ethanol (50 ml) in the presence of a few drops of hydrochloric acid for 3 h. The mixture was cooled and the product was collected and recrystallized from ethanol to give the title compound (m.p. 523 K) in 95% yield; .

Refinement

Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.95 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with Uiso(H) set to 1.2Ueq(C). The amino H-atoms were located in a difference Fourier map, and were refined with a distance restraint of N—H = 0.88±0.01 Å with their isotropic displacement parameters freely refining.

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.
