In the title compound, C27H27N3O3S3·CH4O, the dihedral angles formed by the mesitylene ring with the three oxopyridyl rings are 89.6 (1), 75.5 (1) and 80.69 (1)°, indicating that all three are nearly perpendicular to the mesitylene ring. Intramolecular C-H...S hydrogen bonds generate S(6) ring motifs. The crystal structure is stabilized by intramolecular C-H...S and intermolecular C-H...O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H...[pi] interactions.
