In the title compound, C24H18N2OS, the pyrimidine ring has a flat envelope conformation with the methine C atom as the flap. The attached phenyl and benzoyl rings are inclined to the mean plane of the pyrimidine ring by 84.87 (8) and 75.33 (9)°, respectively. The benzo-thia-zolo group is planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.009 Å) and inclined to the mean plane of the pyrimidine ring by 3.27 (6)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by pairs of C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers.
Keywords: C—H⋯N hydrogen bonding; benzo; crystal structure; pyrimidine; thiazolo.
