[(Methylcarbamothioyl)disulfanyl]methyl N-methylcarbamodithioate

Abstract

The title compound, C5H10N2S5, was unintentionally obtained as the product of an attempted synthesis of a methylcarbamodithioic acid using methylamine and carbon disulfide. In the molecule, two dithiocarbamate groups are bridged by a –CH2S– unit. The C—S—S—C torsion angle is −90.13 (11)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by N—H...S interactions between neighbouring molecules. An intramolecular N—H...S hydrogen bond also occurs.
