Benzyl N-[(Z)-(1-methyl-2-sulfanyl-propyl-idene)amino]-carbamodithio-ate

Abstract

The title compound, C(12)H(16)N(2)S(3), was obtained by the condensation reaction of S-benzyl dithio-carbazate and 3-mercaptobutan-2-one. The phenyl ring and thiol (SH) group are approximately perpendicular [S-C-C-C and N-C-C-S torsion angles = 67.8 (3) and 116.9 (2)°, respectively] to the rest of the mol-ecule. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak S-H⋯S and N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds, π-π inter-actions between the benzene rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.823 (2) Å] and C-H⋯π inter-actions.
