The title compound naphthalen-2-yl-4-methyl-1,2,3-thiadiazole-5-carboxylate (C 14 H 10 N 2 O 2 S,M r=270.31) was synthesized by the reaction of 4-methyl-1,2,3-thiadiazole-5-carbonyl chloride with 2-naphthol,and its structure was characterized by IR,1 H NMR,high-resolution mass spectrometry and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The crystal belongs to orthorhombic,space group Pbcn with a=23.475(5),b=9.6640(19),c=10.814(2),β=90.00°,Z=8,V=2453.2(9) 3,M r=270.30,D c=1.464 g/cm 3,μ=0.262 mm-1,F(000)=1120,R=0.0444 and wR=0.1099.X-ray analysis revealed that the thiadiazole and naphthalene rings were non-planar,while the thiadiazole ring and the ester group were essentially planar,and two intermolecular hydrogen bonds C(6) H(6)···O(1) and C(14) H(14)···O(1) were observed.The preliminary biological test showed that the title compound had antifungal and antivirus activities against tobacco mosaic virus.
