Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-(dimethoxymethyl)-5-phenyl-1,3-thiazole

In the title compound, C18H16ClNO2S, the thiazole ring subtends dihedral angles of 13.12 (14) and 43.79 (14) ° with the attached chlorophenyl and phenyl rings, respectively. In the crystal, C—H...π interactions link the molecules, forming a three-dimensional network. The roles of the various intermolecular interactions were clarified by Hirshfeld surface analysis, which reveals that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H...H (39.2%), H...C/C...H (25.2%), Cl...H/H...Cl (11.4%) and O...H/H...O (8.0%) contacts.
