The title compound, C12H12ClN3OS, was prepared using a Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. The compound was found to crystallize in the ortho­rhom­bic system (space group Pbca, Z = 8). The crystal structure was refined with non-spherical atomic form factors using Hirshfeld atom refinement. The mean planes through the thia­diazole ring and the benzene ring are inclined at an angle of 36.83 (2)°. The morpholine ring adopts a chair conformation with a markedly pyramidal bonding situation at the N atom. The crystal packing is dense, with a packing index of 75%.

Structure description

The 1,2,5-thia­diazole heterocyclic system has gained importance in medicinal chemistry, as well as agricultural and materials science (Quiroga et al., 2025View full citation). The saturated six-membered morpholine heterocycle is part of many drug substances, adjusting the degree of polarity and ease of metabolism (Kumari & Singh, 2020View full citation). We prepared the title compound from (4-morpholino­phen­yl)boronic acid and 3,4-di­chloro-1,2,5-thia­diazole by a Suzuki–Miyaura heteroaryl cross-coupling reaction (Meringdal & Menche, 2025View full citation). It has been demonstrated previously that 3,4-di­chloro-1,2,5-thia­diazole undergoes Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to yield the corresponding mono-substituted derivatives, leaving one Cl atom for potential further functionalization (Merschaert & Gorissen, 2003View full citation). While the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD; Groom et al., 2016View full citation) contains a wide variety of crystal structures of 4-phenyl­morpholine derivatives, a search using the WebCSD inter­face (Thomas et al., 2010View full citation) in April 2026 revealed only one crystallographically characterized compound containing a 4-chloro-1,2,5-thia­diazol-3-yl group, namely, 2-(4-chloro-1,2,5-thia­diazol-3-yl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one (CSD refcode UQOGIT; Kalogirou et al., 2021View full citation). The CSD entry DOCFEG features a 1,2,5-thia­diazo­lium-2-yl moiety in a penta­fluorido­arsenate adduct (Roesky et al., 1986View full citation).

Fig. 1[link] shows the mol­ecular structure of the title compound in the crystal. Table 1[link] lists geometric parameters within the 1,2,5-thia­diazole ring. These are comparable to those encountered in the above-mentioned UQOGIT and also resemble those in the structure of the parent 1,2,5-thia­diazole, as determined by electron diffraction in the gas phase (Momany & Bonham, 1964View full citation). As in UQOGIT, the electronegative Cl substituent increases the ipso N—C—C angle as compared with the aromatic substituent. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the 1,2,5-thia­diazole ring and the benzene ring is 36.83 (2)°. The morpholine ring exhibits the expected low-energy chair conformation and is slightly twisted out of the plane of the benzene ring. The bonding situation at the morpholine N atom is markedly pyramidal, as indicated by Σ(C—N—C) = 343.21 (7)°, which is significantly smaller than the value of 360° in the case of a perfectly planar coordination. The pyramidal height, i.e. the perpendicular distance from N4 to the plane defined by C3, C5 and C7, is 0.3473 (4) Å. Fig. 2[link] depicts the arrangement of the mol­ecules in the ortho­rhom­bic unit cell. A packing index of 75%, as calculated with PLATON (Spek, 2020View full citation), reveals a dense crystal packing (Kitajgorodskij, 1973View full citation).

To better understand the mol­ecular environment of the title compound, we carried out a Hirshfeld surface analysis (Spackman & Jayatilaka, 2009View full citation) using CrystalExplorer21 (Spackman et al., 2021View full citation). Fig. 3[link](a) shows the Hirshfeld surface for the title compound mapped with the normalized contact distance (dnorm), with the colours indicating inter­molecular contacts shorter (red), approximately equal (white) or longer (blue) than the sum of the van der Waals radii (Bondi, 1964View full citation). Inspection of the dnorm plot reveals two large red concave areas associated with the C5—H5A⋯O1ii and C12—H12⋯O1ii inter­molecular contacts, which can be regarded as weak hydrogen bonds (Table 2[link]). A small red area arises from a short inter­molecular H⋯H contact between the morpholine rings of adjacent mol­ecules. In contrast, the H⋯A separation in the C3—H3A⋯N2i inter­molecular contact (Table 2[link]) is close to the sum of the corresponding van der Waals radii (bearing in mind that CrystalExplorer21 by default sets neutron-normalized X—H distances; Allen & Bruno, 2010View full citation) and is not associated with a red area in the dnorm plot. Fig. 3[link](b) shows the corresponding fingerprint plot. For H⋯H contacts (26.4% contribution of close contacts to the Hirshfeld surface), the tip on the diagonal occurs at de + di < 2.4 Å (i.e. less than two times the van der Waals radius of hydrogen) and corresponds to the small red spot in the dnorm plot in Fig. 3[link](a). Moverover, the fingerprint plot shows the two spikes for H⋯O/O⋯H contacts (6.4% contribution) from the C—H⋯O weak hydrogen bonds and wings associated with H⋯C/C⋯H contacts (13.8% contribution).

Synthesis and crystallization

Starting materials were purchased and used as received. NMR spectra were recorded on an Agilent Technologies 400 MHz VNMRS spectrometer. Chemical shifts are reported relative to the residual solvent signal of chloro­form-d (δH = 7.26 ppm, δC = 77.16 ppm). Abbreviation: m = multiplet.

(4-Morpholino­phen­yl)boronic acid (615 mg, 2.97 mmol) was dissolved in toluene (40 ml), 1,4-dioxane (5 ml) and di­methyl­formamide (5 ml) in a 100 ml Schlenk flask. Caesium fluoride (1.83 g, 12.0 mmol) dissolved in approximately 0.5 ml of deionized water, tetra­kis­(tri­phenyl­phosphane)palladium(0) (231 mg, 0.20 mmol) and 3,4-di­chloro-1,2,5-thia­diazole (620 mg, 4.00 mmol) were added under an argon atmosphere. Subsequently, the mixture was heated to 363 K for 12 h with magnetic stirring, whereupon the colour turned from yellow to red. After filtering through Celite, the solvents were removed under reduced pressure co-evaporation using toluene (2 × 20 ml of toluene were added to the residue and evaporated). The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (Inter­chim puriFlash 430) on silica gel using gradient elution (n-heptane with ethyl acetate 0 to 40% v/v) to yield the title compound as a yellow oil (167 mg, 0.59 mmol, 20%). 1H NMR (402 MHz, chloro­form-d) δ 7.55–7.46 (m, 2H), 6.90–6.83 (m, 2H), 3.88–3.81 (m, 4H), 3.31–3.24 (m, 4H) ppm. 13C{1H} NMR (101 MHz, chloro­form-d): δ 153.6, 133.6, 128.5, 120.0, 114.2, 101.1, 66.6, 47.5 ppm. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were obtained when a solution of the compound in chloro­form-d was allowed to evaporate slowly under ambient conditions.

Refinement

Crystal data and refinement details are given in Table 3[link]. Initial independent atom model (IAM) refinement was carried out with SHELXL (Sheldrick, 2015bView full citation). The final model from IAM refinement was then used as the starting point for Hirshfeld atom refinement using NoSpherA2 (Kleemiss et al., 2021View full citation) in OLEX2 (Dolomanov et al., 2009View full citation). Within NoSpherA2, ORCA (Version 6.1; Neese, 2025View full citation) was used to calculate the electron density at the B3LYP/def2-TZVPP level of theory (Becke, 1993View full citation; Lee et al., 1988View full citation; Weigend & Ahlrichs, 2005View full citation), which was subsequently partitioned into Hirshfeld atoms and converted via Fourier transform into atomic form factors (Midgley et al., 2021View full citation). Least-squares refinements against the non-spherical atomic form factors so obtained were performed using olex2.refine (Bourhis et al., 2015View full citation). Anisotropic atomic displacement parameters (ADPs) were refined for all non-H atoms. The positions and isotropic ADPs of the H atoms were refined freely.

Refinement. Refinement using NoSpherA2, an implementation of NOn-SPHERical Atom-form-factors in Olex2. Please cite: F. Kleemiss et al. Chem. Sci. DOI 10.1039/D0SC05526C - 2021 NoSpherA2 implementation of HAR makes use of tailor-made aspherical atomic form factors calculated on-the-fly from a Hirshfeld-partitioned electron density (ED) - not from spherical-atom form factors.

The ED is calculated from a gaussian basis set single determinant SCF wavefunction - either Hartree-Fock or DFT using selected funtionals - for a fragment of the crystal. This fragment can be embedded in an electrostatic crystal field by employing cluster charges or modelled using implicit solvation models, depending on the software used.
