Abstract:
In the title compound, C(17)H(18)N(2)O(2)S(2), the angle between the mean plane defined by the atoms of the 5,6-dihydro-4H-cyclo-penta-[b]thio-phene moiety (r.m.s. deviation = 0.19 Å) and the phenyl ring is 72.8°(2). The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by an intra-molecular N-H⋯O inter-action, which generates an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, pairs of N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules to form inversion dimers with an R(2) (2)(8) ring motif.

Aromatic Hydrocarbon Cations: Structural Overview
Cycloheptatriene is a neutral monocyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon that consists of an odd number of carbon atoms and an intervening sp3 carbon in the ring. The three double bonds in the ring correspond to 6 π electrons, which is a Huckel number, and therefore satisfies the criteria of 4n + 2 π electrons. However, the intervening sp3 carbon disrupts the continuous overlap of p orbitals. As a result, cycloheptatriene is not aromatic.

Preparation and Reactions of Sulfides
Sulfides are the sulfur analog of ethers, just as thiols are the sulfur analog of alcohol. Like ethers, sulfides also consist of two hydrocarbon groups bonded to the central sulfur atom. Depending upon the type of groups present, sulfides can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. Symmetrical sulfides can be prepared via an SN2 reaction between 2 equivalents of an alkyl halide and one equivalent of sodium sulfide.
