Abstract

The title compound, C(17)H(13)ClN(2)OS, crystallizes with three independent mol-ecules (A, B and C) in the asymmetric unit which differ slightly in their conformations. In mol-ecule A, the thiazole ring makes dihedral angles of 27.44 (14) and 66.05 (6)° with the phenyl and chloro-benzene rings. In mol-ecule B, the respective angles are 29.09 (10) and 47.63 (9)°, while values of 25.67 (11) and 51.01 (7)° are observed in mol-ecule C. In the crystal, N-H⋯N and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate a three-dimensional network structure.
