Methyl 2-{2-[(E)-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)amino]-ethylamino}- cyclopentene-1-carbodithioate

Abstract

In the title Schiff base compound, C17H22N 2O2S2, which adopts an E configuration with respect to the imine C=N double bond, the C=N and N -C bond distances are 1.2789 (16) and 1.4546 (16) Å, respectively. In the molecule there are intramolecular O -H⋯N and N -H⋯S hydrogen bonds, and the CH=N -C substituent is almost coplanar with the benzene ring [C -N -C -C torsion angle = -178.80 (11)°]. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular C -H⋯O and C -H⋯π interactions involving the aromatic ring.
