Crystal structure of 1,5-diethyl-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine-2,4(3H,5H)-dithione

Abstract

In the title compound, C13H16N2S2, the seven-membered ring adopts a boat conformation, with the two phenylene C atoms representing the stern and the methylene C atom as the prow. The thione S atoms and N-bound ethyl groups lie on the opposite side of the molecule to the phenylene ring so that the molecule approximates mirror symmetry. In the crystal, supramolecular layers in the bc plane are sustained by a pair of C—H...S interactions to the same S atom acceptor.
