Abstract
In the title molecule, C9H10N2S, one of the methyl groups is almost co-planar with the thiazolopyridine rings with a deviation of 0.311 (3) Å from the least-squares plane of the thiazolopyridine group. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯N hydrogen-bonding interactions lead to the formation of chains along [011].

S1. Chemical context
Thiazolopyridines have been efficiently synthesized and in high yield using different synthetic procedures (Smith et al., 1994, 1995; El-Hiti, 2003; Johnson et al., 2006; Thomae et al., 2008; Rao et al., 2009; Lee et al., 2010; Luo et al., 2015). During our continuing research towards the development of novel synthetic routes for the production of heterocyclic compounds, we have synthesised the title compound 2-(methylethyl)-1,3-thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridine in high yield (Smith et al., 1995). The X-ray structures for related compounds have been reported (Yu et al., 2007; El-Hiti et al., 2014).
S2. Structural commentary
The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists of a single molecule of C9H10N2S (Fig. 1). In the molecule, one of the methyl groups is almost co-planar with the thiazolopyridine ring. The deviations from the least-squares plane of the thiazolopyridine group are 0.311 (3)Å and 1.269 (3)Å for C8 and C9 respectively, corresponding to torsion angles N1—C1—C7—C8 and N1—C1—C7—C9 of 169.47 (19) and -65.9 (3)°, respectively.
Weak C—H···N hydrogen-bonding interactions occur in the structure to form chains along [011] (Fig. 2, Table 1). No π–π interactions are observed in the crystal structure.
S3. Synthesis and crystallization
2-(1-Methylethyl)-1,3-thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridine was obtained in 98% yield from acid hydrolysis (HCl, 5 M) of 3-(diisopropylaminothiocarbonylthio)-2-(1-methylethylcarbonylamino)pyridine under reflux for 5 h (Smith et al., 1995). Crystallization of the crude product from diethyl ether gave colourless crystals of the title compound. The spectroscopic and analytical data for the title compound were consistent with those reported previously (Smith et al., 1995).
S4. Refinement details
H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) constrained to be 1.2 times Ueq for the atom it is bonded to except for methyl groups where it was 1.5 times with free rotation about the C—C bond. Although not of relevance with this achiral compound, the absolute structure factor (Flack, 1983) was determined as 0.031 (11) for 434 Friedel pairs.

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. |
