Methyl 2,2-dimethoxy-5,5-bis(methylsulfanyl)-3-oxopent-4-enedithioate

Abstract

In the title molecule, C10H16O3S4, a short intramolecular S...O(=C) distance [2.726 (2) Å] indicates the presence of a nonbonding attractive interaction. In the crystal, molecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers via weak intermolecular C—H...O and S...S [3.405 (3) Å] interactions. These dimers are linked by further weak C—H...O interactions into columns along the a axis.
