Abstract:
The title compound, C15H9Br2CIN2O2S, was synthesized by electrophilic addition of bromine to 2-(2-chloro-5-nitrostyryl)benzothiazole. The molecule consists of benzothiazole and 2-chloro-5-nitrophenyl rings linked by a 1,2-dibromoethane moiety. The dihedral angle between the benzothiazole and phenyl rings is 8.2(9) degrees. The benzothiazole ring is planar with a mean deviation of 0.168(7)A. The Br1--C8 and Br2--C9 bond distances are 1.972(5) and 2.007(6)A, respectively.

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...
