Benzyl 3-[(E,E)-3-phenylprop-2-enylidene]dithiocarbazate

Abstract

The title compound, C17H16N2S2, a dithio­carbazate derivative, adopts an EE configuration with respect to the C=C and C=N double bonds of the propenyl­idine group. The 3-phenyl­prop-2-enyl­idene and dithio­carbazate fragments lie essentially in the same plane, with a maximum deviation from that plane of 0.074 (2) Å, while the dihedral angle between the 3-phenyl­prop-2-enyl­idene and the benzyl group is 77.78 (7)°. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are linked by an N—H⋯S hydrogen bond and a weak C—H⋯S inter­action involving the terminal thione S atom, forming dimers that are arranged into sheets parallel to the bc plane. The crystal structure is also stabilized by C—H⋯π inter­actions.
