Crystal and electronic structure, N–H⋯N and C–H⋯O interactions in novel spiro-[chroman-chromene]-carboxylate

We report here the structure of new spiro-derivative, namely methyl (2R,4R)-4-(5-methylthiazol- 2-ylamino)spiro[chroman-2,2’-chromene]-3’-carboxylate, C₂₃H₂₀N₂O₄S, which crystallizes as racemate in the space group P-1. In this compound, the chromanone moiety consists of a benzene ring fused with a sixmembered heterocyclic ring which adopts a distorted half-chair conformation. The molecules are linked by a combination of N–H⋯N hydrogen bonds and weak C–H⋯O, C-H⋯S, C-H⋯π, inter- and intramolecular interactions resulting in a two-dimensional network in the crystal structure.
