In the title molecule, C 24 H 17 ClN 4 O 3 S, the central tricyclic moiety is twisted slightly, as indicated by the dihedral angles of 4.86 (5) and 0.97 (6) , respectively, between the five-membered ring and the C 3 N 3 and pyridyl rings. Additionally, the chlorobenzene ring makes a dihedral angle of 65.80 (5) with the pyridyl ring. Weak C-HÁ Á ÁO, C-ClÁ Á ÁN [3.0239 (13) Å ] and -stacking interactions [inter-centroid distance between thienyl rings = 3.6994 (8) Å , and between thienyl and pyridyl rings = 3.7074 (8) Å ] contribute to the molecular packing. The ethyl group in the ester moiety is disordered over two sets of sites, with the major component having an occupancy of 0.567 (11).
Structure descriptionAmong heterocyclic systems, thienopyridines attract considerable attention due to their various biological activities and pharmaceutical properties (Litvinov et al., 2005;Mohamed et al., 2007;Bakhite, 2003). Thienopyridines have been reported to be antimalarial (Gö rlitzer et al., 2004), anti-platelet (Girija et al., 2011) and anti-microbial agents. As part of our studies in this area, we report here the synthesis and the crystal structure of the title compound (Fig. 1).The central tricyclic moiety is twisted slightly, as indicated by the dihedral angles of 4.86 (5) and 0.97 (6) , respectively, between the five-membered ring and the C 3 N 3 and pyridyl rings. Additionally, the 4-chlorobenzene ring makes a dihedral angle of 65.80 (5) with the pyridyl ring.
