Molecular Cocrystals of Carboxylic Acids. XXXII The Crystal Structures of the Adducts of 2-Aminobenzothiazole with 3,5-Dinitrobenzoic Acid (Adduct Hydrate) and 3-Aminobenzoic Acid, and 2-Amino-2-thiazoline with 2-Aminobenzoic Acid

Abstract

Two adducts of 2-aminobenzothiazole and one of 2-amino-2-thiazoline with aromatic carboxylic acids have been synthesized and their X-ray crystal structures determined. These are 2-aminobenzothiazole with 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid (the 1 : 1 adduct hydrate) (1), and 3-aminobenzoic acid (1 : 1) (2), and 2-amino-2-thiazoline with 2-aminobenzoic acid (1 : 1) (3). Compound (1) is a non-centrosymmetric proton-transfer complex and gave a signal of 0·30 relative to urea when tested for second-order non-linear optical properties. Compound (3) is also a proton-transfer complex but (2) is not.
