2-[2-(2-Bromo-phen-yl)-2-oxoeth-yl]-1λ(6),2-benzothia-zole-1,1,3-trione
Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(15)H(10)BrNO(4)S, contains two different conformers in which the benzisothia-zole rings are essentially planar, with r.m.s. deviations of 0.012 and 0.017 Å. The mean planes of the benzene rings form dihedral angles 70.49 (13) and 72.79 (11)° with the benzisothia-zole rings. The orientation of the Br atoms in the two conformers exhibit the most pronounced difference, with opposing orientations in the two mol-ecules. The crystal structure is stabilized by π-π inter-actions between the benzene rings of the benzisothia-zole moieties of one mol-ecule and bromo-benzene rings of the other mol-ecule, with distances between the ring centroids of 3.599 (3) and 3.620 (3) Å, respectively. The crystal packing is further consolidated by pairs of weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which form inversion dimers.

For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
