Abstract:
The title compound, C12H9BrN2OS2, was obtained by reacting 6-bromo-benzo[d]thia-zole-2-carbo-nitrile in iso-propanol with ethyl 2-mercapto-2-methyl-propano-ate at reflux temperature for several hours. The resulting di-methyl-oxyluciferin derivative shows partial double-bond character of the carbon-carbon bond between the two heterocyclic moieties [C-C = 1.461 (3) Å]. This double bond restricts rotation around this C-C axis, therefore leading to an almost planar mol-ecular structure [N-C-C-S torsion angle = 9.7 (3)°]. The five-membered thiazoline ring is not completely planar as a result of the bulky S atom [C-S-C-C torsion angle = 5.17 (12)°].

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
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...
