Benzyl N-[(Z)-(1-methyl-2-sulfanylpropylidene)amino]carbamodithioate

Abstract

The title compound, C12H16N2S3, was obtained by the condensation reaction of S-benzyl dithiocarbazate 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 molecule. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak S - H⋯S and N - H⋯S hydrogen bonds, π-π interactions between the benzene rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.823 (2) Å] and C - H⋯π interactions.
