Abstract
•A new triazolyl-indole was synthesized and characterized.•Its low temperature X-ray single crystal structure was presented.•Analysis of intermolecular interactions was performed using hirshfeld calculations.•DFT calculations were utilized to predict its electronic and spectroscopic aspects.•The compound exists exclusively in the enol form.
The 3-(1H-indol-2-yl)-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazin-6-ol 2 was obtained exclusively in the enol configuration starting from triazolyl-indole derivative 1 and alkyl halo-esters in the presence of K2CO3. Chemical structure elucidations with the aid of physicochemical characterizations were used to predict its molecular structure while single crystal X-ray diffraction technique was used to shed the light on the supramolecular structure of 2. DFT calculations agreed very well with the reported X-ray structure where the most stable form thermodynamically is the enol form. Its optimized geometry agreed very well with the experimental structure where the correlation coefficients between the calculated and experimental geometric parameters are very close to 1. Using Hirshfeld analysis, the most significant intermolecular contacts are the N…H, H…C(π), O…H, S…H and C…C contacts.
