Abstract: In the title compound, C₂₉H₂₅NS₂, both the Cl atoms of the azadiene precursor 4,4-dichloro-1,1-diphenyl-2-azabuta-1,3-diene are replaced by two vicinal S-p-tolyl substituents attached to the terminal C atom of a -conjugated 2-azabutadiene array. The azadiene chain is planar to within 0.01 Å. One of the phenyl rings seems to be slightly -conjugated with the azadiene core [dihedral angle 5.1 (2)°].
