5-Methyl-2,4-bis-(methyl-sulfan-yl)tricyclo-[6.2.1.02,7]undeca- 4,9-diene-3,6-dione

Abstract

The structure analysis of the title compound, C14H 16O2S2, shows the SMe and H atoms of the bond linking the six-membered rings to be syn and also to be syn to the bridgehead CH2- group. Each of the five-membered rings adopts an envelope conformation at the bridgehead CH2- group. The dione-substituted ring adopts a folded conformation about the 1,4-C⋯C vector, with the ketone groups lying to one side. The cyclo-hexene ring adopts a boat conformation.
