4-(4-bromophenyl)-2-methyl-1,3-thiazole

In the structure of the title compound, C10H8BrNS, the dihedral angles between the planes of the thiazole and aryl rings, viz. 4.2 (6) and 7.5 (6)degrees for the two independent molecules, are consistent with insignificant molecular perturbation by the weak intermolecular contacts. The molecules are close to being related by a non-crystallographic inversion centre, with C-H...pi and pi-pi intermolecular interactions observed
