“…The angle at the sulphur atom, 90.2 °, is common for substituted thiazole molecules. 1-763 1.297 2-Methylaminobenzothiazole (Fehlmann, 1970) 1.763 1.297 Phenylthiazolidinedione (Matthews, 1964) 1.776 1.338 2-(O-Hydroxy-phenyl) benzothiazole (Stenson, 1970) 1-749 1.280 N-Benzyl-4-methylthiazolium bromide (Power et al, 1970) 1"671 1.308 Sulphathiazole II (Kruger & Gafner, 1971) 1.742 1.332 2-Amino-4-thiazolidinone-5-acetic acid (Amirthalingham & Muralidharan, 1972a) 1.726 1.361 1.336 1"338 2-Imino-4-thiazolidinone (Amirthalingham & Muralidharan, 1972b) The exocyclic, C(2)-N(2), and heterocyclic, C(2)-N(3), bonds possess 60 and 40% double-bond character respectively, on Wheatley's (1955) scale. This is indicative of amino-imino tautomerism in the neutral molecule.…”
