[2-(Biphenyl-4-yl)-1,3-thiazol-4-yl]methanol

Abstract

Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 173 K; mean (C-C) = 0.002 Å; R factor = 0.041; wR factor = 0.114; data-to-parameter ratio = 14.4.In the title compound, C 16 H 13 NOS, the central benzene ring makes dihedral angles of 3.25 (7) and 41.32 (8) , respectively, with the thiazole and phenyl rings. In the crystal, O-HÁ Á ÁN hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a chain along the c axis. A weak C-HÁ Á ÁO interaction further connects the chains into a layer parallel to the ac plane.
