Ethyl 3-(6-phenyl-4λ4-1,2-dithiolo[1,5-b][1,2,4]dithiazol-2-yl)propanoate

Abstract

The title compound, C15H15NO2S3, exists in a bicyclic form, with resonance contributions from two monocyclic forms, each without a second S—S bond. The trithiapentalene heterocyclic ring system is planar, with a mean deviation of 0.014 (2) Å from the mean plane, and is inclined to the plane of the attached phenyl ring at an angle of 17.24 (7)°.
