The title compound 3-benzyl-4-(3-methyl-3-phenylcyclobut-1-yl)-1,3-thiazole-2(3H)-thione having m.f. C21H21NS2, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna21, Z = 4 with a = 10.1027(5) Å, b = 17.3913(8) Å, c = 10.8832(6) Å, V = 1912.17(17) Å3 and Dcalc = 1.221 g/cm3. In the title molecule, the cyclobutane ring is puckered, with a dihedral angle of 23.78(18)° between the two planes. The thiazole ring makes dihedral angles of 84.23(11), 55.58(16) and 88.08(10)°, respectively, with the benzene, cyclobutane and phenyl rings. Weak intramolecular C-H⋯S and C-H⋯N hydrogen-bonding interactions are present in the molecule. Each of these interactions forms a fivemembered ring. The supramolecular aggregation is completed by two types of C-H⋯π interactions involving the H atoms from C5 and C20 atoms.
