2,4-Dichloro-N-(1,3-thia­zol-2-yl)benzamide

In the mol­ecular structure of the title compound, C(10)H(6)Cl(2)N(2)OS, the dihedral angle between the benzene plane and the plane defined by the amide functionality is 8.6 (1)°, while the thia­zole ring plane is twisted with respect to the amide plane by 68.71 (5)°. In the crystal, pairs of inter­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen-bond inter­actions connect the mol­ecules into inversion dimers. π–π inter­actions are also observed between neighbouring thia­zole and phen­yl rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.5905 (13) Å] and a weak C—H⋯π interaction also occurs.
