Benzyl (E)-3-(2-bromo-5-meth-oxy-benzyl-idene)dithio-carbazate
Abstract:
The title compound, C(16)H(15)BrN(2)OS(2), was obtained from the condensation reaction of benzyl dithio-carbazate and 2-bromo-5-meth-oxy-lbenzaldehyde. In the mol-ecule, the bromo-meth-oxy-phenyl ring and dithio-carbazate fragment are located on the opposite sides of the C=N double bond, showing the E conformation. The dithio-carbazate fragment is approximately planar (r.m.s deviation 0.0187 Å); its mean plane is oriented with respect to the bromo-meth-oxy-phenyl and phenyl rings at 7.60 (12) and 60.08 (9)°, respectively. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds occur. A short Br⋯Br contact of 3.5526 (12) Å is observed in the crystal structure.
