Abstract
In the title compound, C12H14N2S, the cyclohexane ring adopts a chair conformation with the exocyclic C—C bond in an equatorial orientation. The mean plane through the cyclohexane ring (all atoms) is twisted from the thiazolopyridine ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.013 Å) by 39.57 (6)°. In the crystal, molecules form (100) sheets, although there are no specific directional interactions between them. The crystal stucture was refined as a two-component perfect twin.

supplementary crystallographic information
S1. Chemical context
Thiazolopyridine derivatives have been reported to exhibit interesting biological activities (Leysen et al., 1984). As part of our ongoing studies in this area (El-Hiti et al., 2015), we now report the structure of the title compound.
S2. Structural commentary
The asymmetric unit comprises one molecule of C12H14N2S (Fig. 1). The cyclohexane ring is in the chair conformation in the molecule. The least squares plane through the cyclohexane ring is twisted from the thiazolopyridine group by 39.57 (6)°. In the crystal structure, the molecular axes are aligned along [001] (Fig. 2).
S3. Synthesis and crystallization
2-Cyclohexyl-1,3-thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridine was obtained in quantitative yield from acid hydrolysis (HCl, 5 M) of 3-(diisopropylaminothiocarbonylthio)-2-(cyclohexylcarbonylamino)pyridine under reflux for 5 h (Smith et al., 1995). The compound may also be synthesized in 94% yield from acid hydrolysis (5 M HCl, 5 h reflux) of 3-(diisopropylaminothiocarbonylthio)-2-(bis(cyclohexylcarbony)lamino) pyridine (Smith et al., 1995). Crystallization of the crude product from diethyl ether gave the title compound as colourless crystals. Spectroscopic and analytical data are consistent with those reported (Smith et al., 1995).
S4. Refinement details
The data were twinned and HKLF5 in Shelxl 2013 was used. 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.

| 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. Refined as a 2-component perfect twin. |
