Methyl 2-(tert-but­oxy­carbonyl­amino)-1,3-thia­zole-5-carboxyl­ate

The title compound, C(10)H(14)N(2)O(4)S, was synthesized by the reaction of methyl 2-amino­thia­zole-5-carboxyl­ate and di-tert-butyl carbonate. In this structure, the thia­zole ring is planar (mean deviation = 0.0011 Å). Two weak intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are formed between two of the methyl groups and one carbonyl O atom, resulting in the formation of two twisted six-membered rings. Inter­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules to form centrosymmetric dimeric units, and the hydrogen-bond scheme is completed by inter­molecular C—H⋯O contacts.
