Benzyl (E)-3-(4-methoxybenzylidene)dithiocarbazate

Abstract

The title compound, C16H16N2OS 2, was obtained from a condensation reaction of benzyl dithio-carbazate and 4-meth-oxy-benzaldehyde. In the mol-ecule, the meth-oxy-phenyl ring and dithio-carbazate fragment are located on opposite sides of the C=N double bond, showing an E configuration. The dithio-carbazate fragment is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0052 Å); its mean plane is oriented at dihedral angles of 8.19 (15) and 85.70 (13)°, respectively, to the meth-oxy-phenyl and phenyl rings. Inter-molecular N - H⋯S hydrogen bonds and weak C - H⋯π inter-actions are observed in the crystal structure. © Fan et al. 2011.
