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

Abstract

The title compound, C12H16N2S3, was obtained by the condensation reaction ofS-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.
