Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 2-(4-chloro-phen-yl)-4-(di-meth-oxy-meth-yl)-5-phenyl-1,3-thia-zole.

In the title compound, C 18 H 16 ClNO 2 S, the thia-zole ring subtends dihedral angles of 13.12 (14) and 43.79 (14) ° with the attached chloro-phenyl and phenyl rings, respectively. In the crystal, C-H⋯π inter-actions link the mol-ecules, forming a three-dimensional network. The roles of the various inter-molecular inter-actions were clarified by Hirshfeld surface analysis, which reveals that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (39.2%), H⋯C/C⋯H (25.2%), Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (11.4%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (8.0%) contacts.
