Diethyl 2-{4-diethyl-amino-2-[(dimethyl-carbamothio-yl)-oxy]benzyl-idene}malonate
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(21)H(30)N(2)O(5)S, the plane of the dimeth-yl-thio-carbamic group makes a dihedral angle of 78.41 (7)° with the central benzene ring. One of the carbonyl groups in the α,β-unsaturated malonate side chain makes a dihedral angle of 8.73 (10)° with the central benzene ring, while the other carbonyl group makes a dihedral angle of 81.52 (8)°.

Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
