{2-[(1,3-Benzo-thia-zol-2-yl)meth-oxy]-5-fluoro-phen-yl}(4-chloro-phen-yl)methanone.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C21H13ClFNO2S, contains two independent mol-ecules with similar conformations. In the mol-ecules, the thia-zole ring is essentially planar [maximum atomic deviations = 0.014†(4) and 0.023†(5)†à ] and is oriented with respect to the fluoro-phenyl ring and chloro-phenyl rings at 9.96†(18) and 70.39†(18)° in one mol-ecule and at 7.50†(18) and 68.43†(18)° in the other; the dihedral angles between the fluoro-phenyl and chloro-phenyl rings are 64.9†(2) and 64.6†(2)°, respectively. Inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds stabilize the three-dimensional supra-molecular architecture. Weak C-H⋯π and π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.877†(3)†à ] lead to a criss-cross mol-ecular packing along the c axis.
