Benzyl N'-(1H-indol-3-ylmethylidene)hydrazinecarbodithioate

H. Khaledi, H. Mohd Ali and S. W. Ng

Abstract top

The C10H8N3S2 portion of the title molecule, C17H15N3S3, is nearly planar (r.m.s. deviation 0.05 Å); this unit and the phenyl ring subtend an angle of 114.5 (2)° at the methylene C atom.

Comment top

The structure of (I), Fig. 1, shows bond distances for N1—N2 and N2—C9 of 1.382 (3) and 1.287 (3) Å, respectively, confirming the assignment shown in the Scheme. The molecule is bent about the methylene-C7 atom so that the residues on either side are approximately orthogonal. The amino groups do not form any hydrogen bonds.

For other Schiff bases derived by condensing S-benzyl hydrazinecarbodithioate with either aromatic aldehydes or ketones, see: Ali et al. (2004); Chan et al. (2003); Fun et al. (1995); How et al. (2007a,b,c); Khoo et al. (2005); Qiu & Luo (2007); Roy et al. (2007); Tarafder et al. (2002); Xu et al. (1991); Zhang et al. (2004).

Experimental top

Indole-3-carbaldehyde (0.37 g, 2.5 mmol) and S-benzyl dithiocarbazate (0.50 g, 2.5 mmol) were heated in methanol (40 ml) for 3 h. The solution was set aside for the formation of yellow crystals.

Refinement top

Hydrogen atoms were placed at calculated positions (C—H 0.95–0.99, N—H 0.88 Å) and were treated as riding on their parent carbon atoms, with U(H) set to 1.2 times Ueq(C,N).
