Crystal structure and anti-mycobacterial evaluation of 2-(cyclo-hexyl-meth-yl)-7-nitro-5-(tri-fluoro-meth-yl)benzo[]iso-thia-zol-3(2)-one.

The title compound, CHFNOS, crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group 2/, with = 8. As expected, the nine-membered heterobicyclic system is virtually planar and the cyclo-hexyl group adopts a chair conformation. There is structural evidence for intra-molecular N-S⋯O chalcogen bonding between the benziso-thia-zolinone S atom and one O atom of the nitro group, approximately aligned along the extension of the covalent N-S bond [N-S⋯O = 162.7 (1)°]. In the crystal, the mol-ecules form centrosymmetric dimers through C-H⋯O weak hydrogen bonding between a C-H group of the electron-deficient benzene ring and the benzo-thia-zolinone carbonyl O atom with an (10) motif. In contrast to the previously described -acyl 7-nitro-5-(tri-fluoro-meth-yl)benzo[]iso-thia-zol-3(2)-ones, the title -cyclo-hexyl-methyl analogue does not inhibit growth of and .
