Crystal structure of 2-(chloromethyl)-5-(phthalimidomethyl)thiophene. No evidence for intramolecular 1,4-S ⋯ N attraction
Abstract
The crystal structure of 2-(chloromethyl)-5-(phthalimidomethyl)thiophene (1), as an example of a 2,5-disubstituted thiophene, together with data from semi-empirical and ab initio calculations provide strong evidence against an intramolecular S ⋯ N attraction in 2-formylthiophene semicarbazone (2), as well as in other five-membered heterocycles.
