In the title compound, C29H25NS2, both the Cl atoms of the azadiene precursor 4,4-dichloro-1,1-diphenyl-2-azabuta-1,3-diene are replaced by two vicinal S-p-tolyl substituents attached to the terminal C atom of a π-conjugated 2-azabutadiene array. The azadiene chain is planar to within 0.01 Å. One of the phenyl rings seems to be slightly π-conjugated with the azadiene core [dihedral angle 5.1 (2)°].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
